520 |aThis document reviews the data from the 1998 fishery and 1998 survey for Scallop Production Area (SPA) 3 (Brier Island/Lurcher Shoal). Landings in SPA 3 increased each year from 1990 to 1994 and have steadily declined since. The 1998 landings were 162 t for a TAC of 150 t. Unlike the previous year, fishing effort in 1998 was mainly located in the northeast corner of the Brier Island subarea along the boundary with SPA 7 (St. Mary's Bay). There was minimal port sampling data in 1998 due to lack of voluntary participation by the fleet. The survey indicated a small increase in abundance of scallop greater than 80 mm in the Brier Island area but little change in the Lurcher area. A re-analysis of spatial patterns in shell height and age data suggests that the previous age composition estimates may not be accurate. Without age composition, exploitation rates could not be calculated. The 1999 TAC has already been set at 200 t for SPA 3 and 7, which have been combined in 1999 for fisheries management purposes. Based on population size structure for meat weights estimated from the survey, there is no reason to change the TAC for 1999.
