Proceedings 2016/013
Proceedings for the regional peer review of the Great Slave Lake stock assessment approach for sustainable fisheries development; April 25-26, 2013
Chairperson: Kevin Hedges
Editor: Colin Charles
Summary
A regional science peer review was held on April 25-26, 2013 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The purpose of the meeting was to review a sampling protocol used in the Great Slave Lake multi-species fishery-independent survey. The survey is currently in year 2 of a 5-year plan to assess the population dynamics of targeted fishes within the commercial fishery. Topics of the discussion during the course of the meeting included reviews of three working papers, presentations regarding multi-species fish surveys and the quantitative stock assessment of Walleye (Sander vitreus) population dynamics in Lake Erie, and the draft Science Advisory Report (SAR). The SAR will provide researchers with sampling methods and collection procedures to use during a multi-species fishery-independent survey on Great Slave Lake. Participants included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, Fisheries Management, and Aboriginal Aquatic Resource and Oceans Management, Environment Canada, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Manitoba Water Stewardship, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and the University of Manitoba.
This Proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions during the peer review and presents revisions to be made to the associated research documents. The SAR and the supporting Research Documents that result from this advisory meeting will be published on the DFO Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat website.
