Proceedings of the zonal peer review – zonal assessment of northern, spotted and Atlantic wolffish to update and support specific processes with regards to recovery targets, allowable harm and other related...: Fs70-4/2014-014E-PDF
A meeting of the Zonal Assessment Process (ZAP) on wolffish for the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), Maritimes, Gulf, Québec, and Central and Arctic Regions was held February 26-27, 2014 in St. John’s, NL. Presentations included the latest findings on abundance indices for Northern Wolffish (Anarhichas denticulatus), Spotted Wolffish (A. minor), and Atlantic Wolffish (A. lupus) in all Regions; estimated rates of wolffish bycatch; evaluation of bycatch fishery observer coverage; and results from preliminary telemetry and habitat use research. Population projections and recovery targets were calculated and presented, however the results were rejected due to poor model fit and lack of confidence in gear conversion factors. A Science Advisory Report (SAR) was prepared by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science and reviewed during these meetings. It includes summary points for all wolffish species, written and reviewed at the ZAP, based on the meeting Terms of Reference (Appendix I). This Proceedings Report includes an abstract and summary of discussions for each working paper presented, and a summary of general discussions and meeting conclusions.
