A regional advisory process meeting was held March 6 and 7, 2012 in Moncton (NB) to conduct a science peer review of the status of the spring spawning and fall spawning Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) stocks in NAFO Division 4T, from the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. The science review was conducted in response to a request from DFO Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (FAM) for advice regarding the status of stock and catch options for fisheries in 2012 and 2013. Participants at the science review included science staff from the DFO Gulf, Maritimes and Newfoundland regions, personnel from DFO FAM, from the fishing industry, from aboriginal communities, and from provincial governments. The stock assessment for 2010 and 2011, and catch options for 2012 and 2013 were reviewed. The stock status and catch options were summarized in a science advisory report. One supporting research document is expected in support of the science advisory report.
