Update of stock status indicator for Northern Shrimp in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence

Context

The stock assessment of Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (EGSL) is conducted every two years, with the most recent assessment completed in January 2020. The precautionary approach adopted for this fishery demands an annual update of the stock status indicators. This indicator of stock status is calculated from the indices obtained from the summer commercial fishery and the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) research survey in August.

This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of January 29, 2021 on the updated indicator status of the northern shrimp stocks in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Additional publications from this meeting will be posted on the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science Advisory Schedule as they become available.
