Assessment of northern shrimp stocks in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2017 .: Fs70-6/2018-015E-PDF

"The northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) fishery began in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1965. The exploitation is conducted by trawlers in four shrimp fishing areas (SFA): Estuary (SFA 12), Sept-Iles (SFA 10), Anticosti (SFA 9) and Esquiman (SFA 8). Shrimp fishing is regulated by a number of management measures, including the setting of total allowable catches (TAC) in each area. TAC-based management limits fishing to protect the reproductive potential of the population. Once the harvest is projected, decision rules are applied to determine the TAC. This Science Advisory Report is from the January 23, 2018 meeting on Assessment of northern shrimp stocks in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence"--Context, p. [1].
