Updated reference points and harvest options for the giant red sea cucumber (Apostichopus californicus) fishery in British Columbia using data from experimental fishing areas.: Fs70-6/2022-051E-PDF

"The Giant Red Sea Cucumber, Apostichopus californicus, is the subject of a commercial dive fishery (85 licences) in British Columbia, Canada (DFO 2022). Despite considerable research, the life history of this species is poorly understood, and many biological parameters cannot currently be estimated, preventing the use of typical fisheries models. As a result, four Experimental Fishing Areas (EFAs) were established in BC in 1998 to study the effects of harvest on sea cucumber densities ... The present document updates harvest advice based on the original latent productivity model (with some updates) and the full time series of EFA data, and also updates reference points"--Summary, page 2.
