Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on Methodologies and guidelines for developing Limit Reference Points for Pacific Salmon in British Columbia; March 2-4, 2022
Chairperson: Steven Schut
Editor: Jill Campbell
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 on March 2-4, 2022 via the online meeting platform Zoom. The two working papers presented for peer review focused on providing analytical methods for developing Limit Reference Points (LRP) for Pacific salmon stock management units, including guidelines for when they are or are not appropriate given data availability and characteristics of the population. Meeting participants agreed the working papers satisfied all Terms of Reference objectives. The working papers were accepted with minor revisions.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person gatherings have been restricted and a virtual format for this meeting was adopted. Participation included DFO Science, Stock Assessment, Fisheries and Resource Management, Salmon Enhancement Program staff and external participants from First Nations and First Nation organizations, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, commercial and recreational fisheries, non-governmental organizations, and academia.
The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report providing advice to DFO Science to inform the development of LRPs for stock management units of Pacific salmon across Pacific region to meet national obligations under the Fish Stocks provisions of the revised Fisheries Act.
The Science Advisory Report, Proceedings and two supporting Research Documents will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat website.
