Abalone resurvey in the southeast Queen Charlotte Islands, July 1984 / by J.A. Boutillier, W. Carolsfeld, P.A. Breen, S. Farlinger, and K. Bees.: Fs97-4/1818E-PDF

"A resurvey of northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) abundance was conducted on the south-east coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Canada, to assess suspected declines of stocks. Three biologists and a commercial abalone diver sampled 70 sites on the east coast of Moresby Island during July 1984. A comparison of 61 sites with results from previous surveys in 1978 and 1979, showed significant declines of 75% for legal-sized abalone and 81% for total abalone stocks. The observed continuing decline of abalone in this area, together with similar results from a survey of the central coast of B.C. in 1983, indicates that the stock is not at equilibrium"--Abstract, page iii.
