"Landed catch of rockfish in the British Columbia inshore commercial fishery (minor statistical areas 12-20, 28, 29) increased by almost 600% between 1975 and 1984, from a low of 67 t annually to a 1984 level of 381 t and landed value of nearly one million dollars. Most of the rockfish landings are by handline/troll gear, with smaller amounts by longline and trawl. Handline/troll LPUE (landings per unit effort) decreased 15-23% between 1982 and 1984. This decrease in LPUE is indicative of major decreases in the stock size of rockfish in the Strait of Georgia over the past few years, associated with an increase in targeted fishing effort. At present, there are no restrictions on the Strait of Georgia rockfish catch. It is recommended that a quota, if established, be based on historical handline/troll and longline landings until more comprehensive biological data become available"--Abstract, page iii.
