Bay of Fundy scallop stock assessment - 1980 / by G.S. Jamieson, N.B. Witherspoon, and R.A. Chandler.: Fs70-8/81-27E-PDF

"The status of the Bay of Fundy scallop stock in 1980 is assessed on the basis of relative age frequency, log reports, and recent fishery landings. In 1980, scallop abundance was well above average in Bay of Fundy waters, and relatively little effort was directed towards offshore grounds on the Scotian Shelf or Georges Bank. Revised scallop meat yield-age regressions and yield per recruit analyses are presented, and gear and vessel characteristics of the fishing fleet are described. Present average age of exploitation is close to that giving maximum yield per recruit; however, this situation is not supported by regulation and could deteriorate rapidly if future recruitment declines."--Abstract.
