Proceedings of the Maritimes regional advisory meeting of the identification of a limit reference point for southwest Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) : meeting dates, November...: Fs70-4/2024-035E-PDF

"A regional peer review on the Identification of a Limit Reference Point for Southwest Nova Scotia/Bay of Fundy Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus) was held on November 12-13, 2020, virtually using Microsoft Teams. As set out in the terms of reference (ToR) the focus was to consider limit reference points (LRP) in the context of the precautionary approach framework and identify a suitable LRP for testing operating models within a management strategy evaluation (MSE). The meeting reconvened on January 18, 2021 to discuss whether a static or dynamic reference point based on spawning stock biomass at maximum sustainable yield (SSBMSY) would be more appropriate for evaluating management procedures. It was decided that a dynamic SSBMSY would be adopted, solely to be used in the performance threshold to eliminate candidate management procedures in the MSE and that the use of dynamic reference points in determination of stock status is not appropriate. Participation in this meeting included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, DFO Resource Management, Indigenous Communities/Organizations, Non-Government Organizations, Fishing Industry, University of British Columbia modelling team, and external experts. This proceedings document includes a summary of the presentations and is a record of the meeting discussions and conclusions. …"--Summary, page iv.
