Investigating Reference Points for American Plaice on the Scotian Shelf (4VWX)
By G.M. Fowler
Abstract
A maximum sustainable yield based harvest control rule for Maritimes Region (Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy) American plaice was proposed, reviewed and accepted in February 2012 through the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat peer review process. This is intended to apply the Precautionary Approach to management of the resource according to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans guidelines. This Research Document describes the development and application of the model used to estimate the reference points that define the harvest control rule, with particular focus on the assumptions.
