The history of fisheries management of western Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Canadian Maritimes Gulf region / by Danielle Deonarine and Alexander Dalton.: Fs97-6/3307E-PDF

"The Atlantic Canadian Catch and Release Charter Fishery has been in existence for 10 years (since 2009) and has sufficient data on which to base a relative index of Bluefin Tuna abundance that can be used for stock assessment purposes. This fishery is less limited by season and daily effort controls than the commercial fishery and the relative index produced will provide a useful contrast to the current standard indicator of Bluefin Tuna abundance. Central to the catch rate standardization exercise is understanding the past management strategies of the fishery which have been compiled to inform on the Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) modelling decision making. The history of the fishery described here can be divided into three management regimes that resulted in changes to the fishery's fishing effort and which need to be considered in the CPUE standardization process"--Abstract, page iv.
