Regional Advisory Process (RAP) DFO, Newfoundland and Labrador Region Atlantic Herring (Div. 3KL3Ps) Capelin (SuEbarea 2 + 3KL) Proceedings;
November 3-5, 2008

Chairperson: F. Mowbray
Rapporteur: G.H. Winters

Summary

During November 2008, DFO Newfoundland and Labrador Region conducted assessments of the White Bay - Notre Dame Bay, Bonavista Bay - Trinity Bay, St. Mary’s Bay - Placentia Bay and Fortune Bay Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) stocks and the NAFO Subarea 2 + 3KL capelin (Mallotus villosus) stock.  Summaries of the omnibus herring working paper and ensuing discussions are provided, as well as research recommendations intended to reduce current uncertainties and to increase the analytical power of the next herring assessment.  The status of capelin in Subarea 2 + 3KL was assessed in response to a request from DFO Fisheries and Aquaculture Management for an update on stock status since the last assessment report in 2001.  Summaries of new information available since then are provided, as well as conservation issues that may impinge on the 2009 – 2011 capelin management plan.

Also included are the remit and terms of reference, a list of participants, and a list of working papers.  Additional information on the resources assessed is available in the Science Advisory Report (SAR) and Research Document Series.
