Survey results and Shrimp Survey Bulletin 17-02 are available for Shrimp
Management Area (SMA) FR (i.e. PFMA Areas 28 and 29). Copies of the bulletin
are available on request from Dan Clark 250-756-7327 or Dan.Clark@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.
The estimated total biomass for pink shrimp in SMA FR is in the Critical Zone
so the shrimp trawl fishery in Areas 28 and 29 will remain closed. An
assessment on stock status indicating that both pink and sidestripe shrimp
abundance are above the LRP and out of the Critical Zone will be required prior
to any future fishing opportunity in this area.
