Recovered gear analysis of North Atlantic right whale Argo Eg #1218.: Fs23-713/2023E-PDF
"Two lobster traps and 44 m of rope were removed from Argo (Eg #1218), a 42-year-old male, by a multi-group United States (U.S.) response team off Surf City, North Carolina during the period of January 28 and 29, 2023. Analysis of recovered gear was jointly undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on April 18, 2023. Purple tags for Canadian Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 33 were present on the gear. The harvester reported the gear lost on December 7, 2022, and follow-up confirmed that the traps were part of an initial 15-pot trawl that was actively being fished. Conclusion of gear origin: LFA 33 (southwest Nova Scotia)"--Executive summary.
