A regional assessment of ecological attributes in rockfish conservation areas in British Columbia / Jason S. Dunham, Faith Yu, Dana Haggarty, Noemie Deleys, Lynne Yamanaka.: Fs70-5/2020-026E-PDF
"We conducted a regional assessment of four ecological attributes (size, rockfish habitat, depth, and connectivity) in 164 Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) in British Columbia. The purpose of this research was to evaluate how effective RCAs are at achieving their conservation objective, which is to protect portions of inshore rockfish populations and their habitat from fishing pressure. Analyses were conducted using GIS information and existing habitat models. Attribute thresholds were derived from the literature. We took three approaches to our analyses. RCAs were scored based on: 1. individual attributes, 2. attributes summed together to form a single index of overall status, and 3. ideal attribute criteria to assess how the current network compares to a best case scenario"--Abstract, page viii.
