Update of stock status indicators for scallop in subarea 20a in the Magdalen Islands.: Fs70-7/2019-020E-PDF

"In the case of subarea 20A in the Magdalen Islands, decision rules used to calculate annual authorized fishing effort have been in place since 2010 (Trottier et al. 2017). This effort is calculated using the primary stock status indicator (average catch per unit effort, or CPUE, from commercial fishermen logbooks) and secondary indicators (sea scallop abundance indices from the most recent Fisheries and Oceans Canada research survey). The CPUE was updated after the 2018 fishing season to provide Fisheries Management with information on the fishing effort for the 2019 season according to the precautionary approach guidelines. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of March 18, 2019 on the Updated indicators status of the scallop stocks in Subarea 20A in Magdalen Islands"--Context, page [1].
