A summary of commercial catch rate data for the 1986 Prince Edward Island bar clam (Spisula solidissima) fishery / by Thomas W. Sephton and Clair F. Bryan.: Fs70-8/87-32E-PDF

"A summary of catch and effort data from the 1986 voluntary logbook program give the first estimate of commercial catch rates for fishing areas on the north shore and Cardigan Bay of Prince Edward Island. The overall average CPUE was 124 kg/m/h and ranged from a low in area 3 of 86 kg/m/h to a high of 155 kg/m/h in area 4. Catch rates tended to increase for all areas through the season. The fishery will probably remain a self-regulating secondary fishery with the maintenance of the present management strategies"--Abstract, page 2.
