Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on A Review of International Best Practices to Assigning Species to Tiers for the Purposes of Stock Assessment Based on Data Availability and Richness; May 30-31, 2016
Chairpersons: Lesley MacDougall and Rowan Haigh
Editors: Lesley MacDougall and Rowan Haigh
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 Peer Review meeting of May 30-31, 2016, at the Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo, British Columbia (BC) focusing on the creation of a tiered-approach framework for assessing groundfish stocks. The meeting included discussions on a proposed hierarchical system based on data (using a scorecard to assess data availability, quality, and reliability), candidate references points, and candidate performance metrics. Significant time was spent on the issue of data-limited species.
In-person participation included representatives from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO Science and Management), University of British Columbia (UBC), U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Landmark Fisheries Research (consultant), Canadian Groundfish Research and Conservation Society (CGRCS), Pacific Halibut Management Association (PHMA), United Fisheries and Allied Workers (UFAWA), Cowichan First Nation, Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, and Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance.
