Proceedings on the Regional Peer Review of the Evaluation of Data and Model Assumptions on the Calculation of Management Parameters using the Pacific Herring Assessment Model (ISCAM); June 27 & 28, 2012
Chairperson: L. Flostrand
Editor: L. Flostrand
Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Advisory meeting held June 27 and 28 at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper focusing on Pacific herring stock assessment data and model assumptions and consideration of management parameters was presented for peer review.
In-person participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science and Fisheries and Aquatic Management Sectors staff; and external participants from First Nations organizations (the Haida First Nation, the Heiltsuk First Nation), the commercial fishing sectors (the Herring Conservation Research Society), the province of British Columbia, environmental non-governmental organizations, and academia (University of British Columbia). No remote (webinar) participation occurred for this meeting.
The Working Paper was accepted but several key suggestions were provided during the review which should be addressed in revisions prior to publication as a Research Document. Many of the conclusions and advice resulting from this review are intended for incorporation into future Pacific herring stock assessment and advisory documents. The Research Document resulting from the current Working Paper, when published, will be made publicly available on the CSAS Science Advisory Schedule at http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/index-eng.htm.
