"Not to be cited without permission of the authors." Includes bibliographical references (page 6). "Size distributions of the sea scallop, Placopecten magellanicus on St. Pierre Bank were examined in relation to past and predicted meat yields and yield-per-recruit. Optimal ages of first exploitation would be considerably greater than the modal age (4.5 yr) available in 1987 for first exploitation. The meat-count regulation allows harvesting of small scallops only so long as there are scallops in the population of greater size. With fewer larger scallops remaining on the Bank for blending, management options to improve fishery yield are limited. Average age of first exploitation should be increased to more optimal levels. To ensure that no further growth overfishing occurs, it may be necessary to disallow the harvesting of sea scallops from St. Pierre Bank in 1987"--Abstract, page 2.
