Assessment of lobster (Homarus americanus) in the Magdalen Islands (LFA 22), Quebec, in 2018.: Fs70-6/2019-061E-PDF
"Lobster fishing in the Magdalen Islands (LFA 22, Figure 1) is practiced by 325 enterprises (a skipper-owner and one or more fishers' helpers). About two-thirds of the fleet is on the south side (Old Harry to Havre-Aubert) and one-third is on the north side (Grosse-Île to Millerand) (Figure 2). The fishery is managed by controlling the fishing effort (number of licences, number and size of traps, fishing season and daily fishing schedule, organization of trap lines) and by escapement measures (escape vents, release of berried females and minimum legal size [MLS]). Management and conservation measures introduced over the past 24 years follow the recommendations of the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC). In 2012, a precautionary approach was suggested for LFA 22The status of the resource is assessed every three years. This report describes the situation in 2018 and changes observed since the last stock status assessment in 2015"--Context (page [1]).
