Proceedings 2015/066
Proceedings of the pacific regional peer Review on the Evaluation of Marine Recreational Coho Mark Selective Fisheries in British Columbia, including and evaluation of the Canadian marine fishery exploitation model for Interior Fraser Coho; March 3‑5, 2015
Chairperson: Dr. Jeffrey Lemieux
Editors: Nicholas Komick and Mary Thiess
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 March 3 to 5, 2015 at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo, BC. Two working papers titled “Interior Fraser River Coho Exploitation Rate Estimation Methods” and “Evaluation of Marine Recreational Coho Mark Selective Fisheries” were presented for peer review.
In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science and Fisheries and Aquatic Management Sectors staff; and external participants from First Nations organizations, the commercial and recreational fishing sectors, and academia.
The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of one Science Advisory Report providing advice to Fisheries Management and Salmon Enhancement Program to conduct a review of Coho Mark Selective Fisheries program to evaluate its effectiveness and utility as a management tool. As exploitation rate is a key metric necessary to respond to this request, it was recognized that a review of the exploitation rate forecast and estimation methods was required. This assessment, and advice arising from this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review (RPR), will be used to inform the overall evaluation of the MSF program, the development of Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMPs) for southern BC salmon and the assessment of Interior Fraser River (IFR) Coho.
The one Science Advisory Report and one supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
