Review of the Newfoundland lobster fishery
By G.P. Ennis, P.W. Collins, G.D. Badcock, G. Dawe
Abstract
Historical catch and nominal effort for the Newfoundland lobster fishery and for individual lobster fishing areas (LFA) are reviewed along with catch rate and size composition data from research logbooks and commercial catch sampling at localized monitoring sites. Yield per recruit and egg per recruit analyses are presented for the Arnold's Cove, Placentia Bay population. An evaluation of stock-recruitment and a consideration of recruitment overfishing based on a time series of population estimates for Arnold's Cove lobsters are also presented.
