Fishery Notice

Survey results and Shrimp Survey Bulletins 17-03 and 17-04 are available for 
Shrimp Management Area (SMA) 16 (PFMA Area 16) and SMA GSTE (PFMA Areas 13 and 
15). Copies of the bulletins are available on request from Dan Clark 250-756-
7327 or Dan.Clark@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.

The estimated total biomasses for pink and sidestripe shrimp in SMA 16 are in 
the Critical Zone so the shrimp trawl fishery in Area 16 will remain closed. 
The estimated total biomasses for pink and sidestripe shrimp in SMA GSTE are in 
the Critical Zone so the shrimp trawl fishery in Areas 13 and 15 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 these areas.
