Associate Professor at Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland
I’m attending the small pelagic fishes workshop, part of the DFO Technical Expertise in Stock Assessment Workshop Series, November 21-23 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. There are two main focus areas for the workshop: Day 1 – will focus on challenges in existing stock assessments/management strategy evaluations (MSEs) for small pelagics (i.e., a lack of a stock recruitment relationship) and potential solutions. Day 2 – will focus on (mostly acoustic) survey design(s) from DFO surveys and how it is used for stock assessment. Day 3 – A synopsis on bridges/barriers to small pelagic monitoring and stock assessment, with potential solutions proposed.
