Science response: stock status update of American lobster in LFAs 36 & 38

Abstract

The scientific basis for assessing the status of American Lobster (Homarus americanus) in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFAs) 36 and 38 were examined at an assessment framework review meeting in September 2019, followed by an assessment of the status of the Lobster resources in LFA 36 and 38 in October 2019 (DFO 2021a), and a stock status update in September 2020 (DFO 2021b). One primary indicator and three secondary indicators that describe changes in Lobster abundance and biomass were defined, and reference points for the primary indicator were proposed and subsequently adopted. In this update, a suite of indicators is applied from the 2019 framework review to the stock status up to the end of the 2020–2021 fishing season wherever possible. This Science Response Report results from the Regional Science Response Process of September 23, 2021, on the Stock Status Update of American Lobster in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFAs) 36 and 38.
