Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on Yellowmouth Rockfish (Sebastes reedi) stock assessment for British Columbia in 2021; September 8-9, 2021
Chairperson: Greg Workman
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 September 8-9, 2021 via the online meeting platform Zoom. The working paper presented a Yellowmouth Rockfish (Sebastes reedi, YMR) stock assessment for peer review.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person gatherings have been restricted and a virtual format for this meeting was adopted. Web-based participation included DFO Science and Fisheries Management staff, and external representatives from First Nations, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), commercial fishery sectors, and environmental non-governmental organizations.
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 fisheries management decisions when establishing catch levels for the species. This work will also inform decisions external to DFO, specifically COSEWIC.
The Science Advisory Report and detailed Research Document will be made publicly available on the CSAS website.
