Quillback Rockfish Fishery and Conservation Objectives Workshop summary report / by Dana R. Haggarty, Matthew R. Siegle, M. Aline Litt, and Quang Huynh.: Fs97-6/3488E-PDF
"Quillback Rockfish (Sebastes maliger) stocks were last assessed in 2011 and it was found that the inside (waters east of Vancouver Island) and outside (outer coastal waters of BC) Management Units (MUs) fell into the Cautious zone defined by the DFO Precautionary Approach. There was, however, considerable variation around the median biomass estimates, with the 95% confidence interval for both stocks encroaching into the Critical and Healthy zones. The uncertainty in stock biomass and consequently stock status make Quillback Rockfish an excellent candidate for further assessment under the Management Procedure (MP) framework developed for BC groundfish. To adhere with the best practices of the MP framework, we held a workshop series to bring together a group of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) scientists and managers, Indigenous representatives and knowledge-holders, commercial and public fishing representatives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and scientists. … This report highlights the content presented at these workshops, held remotely on the Zoom online platform February 23-24, March 16 and March 30, 2021. Here, we summarize the workshop outcomes that should be considered as Quillback Rockfish are analyzed with the MP framework. We also note that online meetings offer several advantages in efficiency over in-person workshops"--Abstract, page vi.
