Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on the Review and Evaluation of Fishing-Related Incidental Mortality for Pacific Salmon; June 6-7, 2016
Chairperson: Mary Thiess
Editors: Shelee Hamilton and Steve Schut
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 (RPR) meeting that took place June 6-7, 2016 at the Vancouver Island Convention Centre in Nanaimo, B.C. Two working papers focusing on the review and evaluation of fishing-related incidental mortality for Pacific salmon were presented for peer review.
In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) staff from the Science and Fisheries and Aquaculture Management branches; along with external participants from First Nations organizations, the commercial and recreational fishing sectors, environmental 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 Fisheries Management to inform future processes to derive and/or modify fishing-related incidental mortality estimates for use in the assessment and management of Pacific salmon fisheries.
The Science Advisory Report and two supporting Research Documents will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
