Science response: scallop production areas 1 to 6 in the Bay of Fundy
Abstract
Advice on the status of Scallop in Scallop Production Areas (SPAs) 1 to 6 in the Bay of Fundy (BoF) is requested annually by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Resource Management to help determine a Total Allowable Catch (TAC, meat weight) in support of the fishery. The purpose of this report is to update the stock status of Scallop in SPAs 1 to 6 with data from the 2022 Scallop survey and fishery (October 1 to September 30). The last Regional Advisory Process of the BoF Scallop stocks occurred in 2015 (DFO 2016, Nasmith et al. 2016); updates have been conducted since. The last update was in November 2021 (DFO 2022). This Science Response Report results from the Regional Peer Review of November 24, 2022 on the Stock Status Update of Bay of Fundy Scallop in Scallop Production Areas (SPAs) 1A, 1B, and 3–6.
