Chairperson: Ben Davis

Editor: Yvonne Muirhead-Vert

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 7-8, 2022 via the online meeting platform Zoom. The working paper presented for peer review focused on the Canary Rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) (CAR) stock assessment for British Columbia in 2022.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person gatherings have been restricted and a virtual format for this meeting was adopted. Participation included DFO Science (Groundfish, Quantitative Assessment, and retired DFO staff), Fisheries Management staff; and external participants from the David Suzuki Foundation, Halibut Advisory Board, Interface Fisheries Consulting, Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Groundfish Trawl Advisory Committee (GTAC), Oceana, Pacific Halibut Management Association, Canadian Groundfish Research Conservation Society, and the Council of the Haida Nation.

The meeting participants agreed the working paper met all of the Terms of Reference objectives and was accepted with minor revisions. The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report (SAR) to inform fisheries management decisions to establish catch levels for the species and to inform and supplement decisions external to DFO.

The Science Advisory Report and supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
