Scallop survey technologies get grilling by select NOAA panel

March 19, 2015 New England

In the scallop science world, what’s going on this week on the waterfront is a little like a battle of the bands: three competing methods of surveying scallops, pitted against each other in front of a panel of tough scientific judges. Dr. Kevin Stokesbury of the UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology said, “What is happening here is that they’re examining the different survey types.”. “Because NOAA wanted to have a review of all the survey techniques as the basis for what they are going to finance,” Stokesbury said.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
