Limit reference points for Atlantic salmon rivers in DFO Gulf Region .: Fs70-7/2018-015E-PDF

"Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Ecosystems and Fisheries Management Branch asked DFO Science to develop reference points for Atlantic Salmon that conform to “A fishery decision-making framework incorporating the Precautionary Approach”. That request followed on an action item associated with the implementation of the Wild Atlantic Salmon Conservation Policy to review benchmarks / reference points for Atlantic Salmon which conform to the Precautionary Approach (PA). This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of February 8, 2018 on Limit Reference Points for Atlantic Salmon rivers in Salmon Fishing Areas 15 to 18, DFO Gulf Region. This is a step in the development of the PA framework. Further work is required to complete the PA framework including the definition of the Upper Stock Reference point(s), harvest strategies, and harvest decision rules”--Context, p. [1].
