Science Response : Stock Status Update of American Lobster in LFAs 36 and 38

Abstract

The scientific basis for assessing the status of American Lobster (Homarus americanus) in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFAs) 36 and 38 was reviewed at a framework meeting in September 2019 (Cook et al. 2023), followed by an assessment of the status of the Lobster resources in LFAs 35–38 in October 2019 (DFO 2021a), and yearly updates (DFO 2021b, DFO 2022a). One primary indicator and three secondary indicators that describe changes in Lobster abundance and biomass, along with reference points for the primary indicator were defined at the framework meeting. In this update, the suite of indicators from the 2019 assessment framework are applied to the 2022–2023 fishing season (where data are available). This Science Response Report results from the Regional Peer Review of September 25, 2023, on the Stock status update of American Lobster in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFAs) 36 & 38.
