The Grand Manan scallop stock assessment 1988-1989 / by S.M.C. Robinson and R.A. Chandler.: Fs70-8/90-81E-PDF
"Scallop landings for 1988 in southwest New Brunswick, comprising Statistical Districts 48 to 53, were up from landings reported in 1987 by 75% to 433.9 t and 1989 landings showed a further 69% increase to 735.4 t. This increasing trend in landings over the last two years was generally reflected in all six Statistical Districts and in both offshore (boats ≥14.5 m LOA or ≥25.5 G.T.) and inshore boats (<14.5 m LOA). Landing records, based on sales slips, for 1989 indicated that 100% of the offshore licenses were active while only 66% of the inshore licenses were active. This increase in catch was due to a large pulse in recruitment of the 1983 and 1984 year-classes. Landings for the New Brunswick based Bay of Fundy licensed boats came mostly from the "inside 8-mile Digby area" as well as a dense scallop bed off Cape Spencer. Inshore boats also fished the Cape Spencer bed during the summer months. The inshore fishery around Grand Manan took place mainly on the western side of the island where scallop densities were highest"--Abstract, page 2.
