Update of spawner abundance and biological characteristics of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence to 2018.: Fs70-7/2019-010E-PDF
"The Striped Bass population of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence had declined to less than 5,000 spawners in the late 1990s and subsequently increased to over 900,000 spawners by 2017. Due to conservation concerns, the commercial fishery closed in 1996 and the recreational and aboriginal fisheries for Striped Bass were closed in 2000. A small number of food, social, and ceremonial (FSC) fisheries were reinstated in 2012 and allocations of Striped Bass to Indigenous groups have gradually increased since then. The recreational fishery reopened in 2013 and a pilot Indigenous commercial fishery was conducted in 2018. With continued requests for additional access to southern Gulf Striped Bass, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Gulf Ecosystems and Fisheries Management branch requested an update on the size of the spawning stock and information on biological characteristics to 2018. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of December 12, 2018 on the update of indicators for the Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) population of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, DFO Gulf Region, in 2018"--Context, page [1].
