Status and assessment of the Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica in the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence / by K.S. Naidu, F.M. Cahill, and D.B. Lewis.: Fs70-8/82-02E-PDF

"A stock assessment of northeastern Gulf Iceland scallops is presented. Based on research-vessel surveys, relative age composition in research surveys and commercial catches and fishery performance, it represents the first assessment ever undertaken of this resource. As a result of an interaction of the availability and prices of other exploitable species by a multi-purpose fleet, a pulse fishing strategy for scallops has emerged in this area. In the third year of its second pulse, the fishery has enjoyed relatively stable CPUEs over the period and the assessment points to its continued short to medium-term stability. Long-term management options are discussed."--Abstract.
