Canary rockfish assessment for 1999 and recommended yield options for 2000/2001 / R.D. Stanley.: Fs70-1/1999-203E-PDF
This document provides an analysis of the available stock assessment information on canary rockfish in Canadian waters and harvest recommendations for the 2000/2001 fishing year. For Areas 3C+3D, this review proposes minimum and maximum harvests of 350-700 t, an increase from the 350-550 t range proposed the previous year. The document recommends a range of 175-350 t for Areas 5A+5B down slightly from the 200-400 t range proposed a year earlier. There is little basis for determining optimal harvest levels for Areas 5C+5D or 5E. However, for Areas 5C+5D; the document suggests consideration of a harvest range of 50-150 t. This brackets historical landings. A harvest range of 100-200 t is proposed for Area 5E, but note that the hook-and-line fishery is providing significant landings from this area. The document summarises the history of Canadian and U.S. landings, management and assessment history for canary rockfish.
