Proceedings of the Regional Peer Review of the Assessment of Northern and Striped Shrimp; April 6-8, 2016
Chairperson: B. Davis
Editor: J. Pantin
Summary
A Regional Peer Review Process for Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in Shrimp Fishing Areas (SFAs) 4 to 6 and Striped Shrimp (Pandalus montagui) in SFA 4 was held April 6‑8, 2016 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). This Regional Peer Review Process was requested following the February 2016 Stock Status Update of Northern and Striped Shrimp in SFAs 4, 5 and 6 which reported declines in key indices of the Precautionary Approach (PA) Framework for Northern Shrimp for SFAs 4 and 6 in 2015. The purpose of the April 2016 peer‑review process was to assess the status of the Northern Shrimp resource in SFAs 4 to 6 (NAFO Divisions 2G to 3K), as well as Striped Shrimp in SFA 4.
Participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science and Fisheries Management Branches (Newfoundland and Labrador, Central and Arctic, Quebec, National Headquarters, and Maritimes Regions), the fishing industry, the Provincial Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, academia, and Aboriginal communities and organizations.
This Proceedings includes summaries of meeting discussions, as well as a list of research recommendations. The advice resulting from the meeting is published in the Science Advisory Report series.
