Chairperson: Darek Moreau
Editors: Rabindra Singh et Tiffany Small
Summary
This March 31, 2022, peer-reviewed meeting on the stock assessment of 4VWX Herring follows a framework review conducted from 2019 to 2022 for the Southwest Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy (SWNS/BoF) spawning component. The meeting used the 2022 management strategy evaluation framework to identify candidate management procedures that meet the conservation (rebuilding) objective and to determine whether exceptional circumstances have occurred using the 2021 fishery data. The stock status of the SWNS/BoF component was updated using the 2021 acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. Information on the other spawning components for the 4VWX Herring stock was also reported based on indicators used in the 2018 stock assessment. The meeting participants reviewed in detail the summary bullets in the draft Science Advisory Report. Participants in this meeting included Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Science, DFO Ecosystem Management, Province of Nova Scotia, Province of New Brunswick, Aboriginal communities / organizations, industry, and non-governmental organizations.
