Summary

A meeting of the Newfoundland and Labrador/Central and Arctic Zonal Advisory Process (ZAP) on Northern Shrimp was held March 6 - 8, 2008 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Its purpose was to assess northern shrimp stocks in Shrimp Fishing Areas (SFAs) 4, 5 and 6 (Div. 2G to 3K) and northern and striped shrimp stocks in SFAs 0, 2 and 3.

A Science Advisory Report (SAR 2008/008) for SFAs 4 to 6 was written and reviewed in meetings from March 12 – 13, 2008. A SAR (SAR 2008/018) for SFAs 0 to 3 was written by Central and Arctic staff during the week of March 17, 2008 and circulated for review by ZAP participants. Both include overall and SFA-by-SFA summary bullets reviewed at the ZAP meeting. Detailed rapporteur’s notes of discussion on each working paper presented at the ZAP, in question-and-answer/comment-and-response form, were produced. This Proceedings Report includes an abstract and summary of discussion for each working paper presented, as well as progress on research recommendations from the 2006 NL Northern Shrimp RAP and 2007 Framework Meeting and a list of research recommendations from this ZAP, including those from the 2006 and 2007 meetings that are being carried forward for further work.
