"The commercial Green Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) fishery began in the Estuary and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1991. Fourteen areas were created (Figure 1); however, many are still unfished or underutilized. Although trap fishing is permitted, green sea urchins are mainly collected by diving. Current management measures include a limited number of licences per area, a minimum catch size of 50 mm test diameter and dive fishing seasons generally set from the end of March to the end of December. Harvesting takes place once the ice cover opens up and the gonad yield increases from the end of March to May and from September to December."--Context, p.
