Summary
A meeting of the Newfoundland and Labrador Regional Advisory Process (RAP) on capelin (Mallotus villosus) was held October 26-28, 2010, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Its purpose was to assess capelin stocks in NAFO Subarea 2 + Div. 3KL. The previous assessment was in 2008. Summaries of the omnibus working papers and presentations, as well as the ensuing discussions are provided, along with research recommendations intended to reduce current uncertainties and to increase the analytical power of the next capelin assessment. The following components were examined during the RAP: stock structure, distribution, ecosystem and biological information, spawning times, aging, catch information, spawning habitat, recruitment and abundance indices. Also included are the terms of reference, a list of attendees and a list of working papers. Additional information on the resources assessed is available in the Science Advisory Report (SAR) and the CSAS Research Document Series.
