Stock Status Update of Lobster (Homarus americanus) in Lobster Fishing Area 35 for 2020
Context
The scientific basis for assessing the status of American Lobster (Homarus americanus) in Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 35 was examined at a framework meeting in September 2019, followed by an assessment of the status of the Lobster resources in LFA 35 in October 2019 (DFO 2020). The assessment identified one primary indicator and three secondary indicators that describe changes in Lobster abundance and biomass, as well as proposed reference points for the primary indicator. This update applies a suite of indicators from the 2019 framework to the stock status up to the end of the 2019–2020 fishing season wherever possible.
This Science Response Report results from the Regional Science Response Process of August 20, 2020, on the Stock Status Update of American Lobster in Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 35.
