Status of the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence Iceland scallop (Chlamys islandica) stock, 1986 / by Marc Lanteigne and Leslie-Anne Davidson. : Fs70-8/87-83E-PDF

"The assessment of the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence Iceland scallop stock was based on an experimental survey, logbooks, sea samplings and landing statistics. The results of the 1986 experimental survey indicated a stable level of recruitment, and size composition compared with 1985 results. However, the logbook, and landing data indicated a decrease in the catch per unit of effort (CPUE), and the catch per fishing day respectively. The fishing ground expansion and the gear change have been stable since 1984, therefore a decrease in CPUE could be the result of a decrease in the scallop stock density. In order to avoid overfishing, it is suggested that some action be taken to maintain the effort at its actual level. Management option and guidelines for further research are presented"--Abstract, page 2.
