2024 Geoduck Stock Status
Abstract
DFO Fisheries Management Branch has requested that Science Branch provide yearly updates of the BC wild Geoduck (Geoduck and horse clam 2025/2026 Integrated Fisheries Management Plan) biomass estimates, stock index and stock status, in line with DFO’s Precautionary Approach (DFO 2009). The purpose of this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Science Response (SR) is to summarize 2024 updates to BC wild Geoduck biomass estimates provided to fishery managers for setting Geoduck quotas for the 2025-2026 fishing season and to provide updated stock index and stock status. This Science Response Report is from the regional peer review of March 4, 2025 on the 2024 Stock Status of British Columbia Wild Geoducks.
