Proceedings of the Regional Peer Reviews of the Assessment of Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Subdivision 3Ps Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) and Subdivision 3Ps American Plaice (Hippoglossoides platessoides); November 19–22, 2019
Chairpersons: Karen Dwyer and Krista Baker
Editors: Jennica Seiden and Keith Lewis
Summary
A Regional Peer Review process was held in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) from November 19 to 22, 2019, to assess the status of the stock of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) and American Plaice (Hippoglossoides platessoides) in Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Subdivision 3Ps. The assessments were requested by the Fisheries Management Branch to provide the Minister with detailed advice on the status of the stock to inform management decisions for the 2019 fishing season.
Prior to this meeting, a Regional Peer Review process was held in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, from October 8 to 10, 2019, to assess the methodology for estimating the population size and other stock status indicators of cod in NAFO Subdivision 3Ps. The assessment framework meeting (framework hereafter) reviewed and considered multiple candidate models of population dynamics for 3Ps cod, specifically those that can incorporate multiple data sources (including commercial catch). The data sources available for modeling the 3Ps cod population were determined previously at a data review meeting held in May 2019.
Participation included representatives from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science and Resource Management, L'Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER), the fishing industry, the Provincial Department of Fisheries, academia, and Indigenous Groups.
In addition to these Proceedings, a Science Advisory Report (SAR) as well as Research Documents produced from this meeting, will be made available online by the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS).
