  • Research TAC Set Aside Scallop Exemption Program for 2008
    NOAA Grant Number: NA14NMF4540071 Grantee: Maine Department of Marine Resources (ME DMR) Project Title: An Assessment of Sea Scallop Distribution and Abundance in Federal and Adjacent State Waters of the Gulf of Maine Project Code: 14-SCA-11 Amount of Grant: 53,192 lbs. of scallops for 2014 ($558,515) and 35,461 lbs. of scallops for 2015 ($372,344) Start Date: 03/01/2014 Period Covered by Report: 03/01/2014 - 06/30/2018 Executive Summary The sea scallop fishery in the Northern Gulf of Maine (NGOM) occurs in federal waters and is managed by the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC). The fishery is managed by total allowable catch (TAC) independently of the rest of the EEZ sea scallop stock. A cooperative survey was carried out by the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and the University of Maine (UMaine) in May-June 2016. Survey results indicate that the biomass (by meat weight) of NGOM sea scallops targeted by the fishery (102+ mm or 4+ in. shell height (SH)) was approximately 728 MT in 2016. Landings from the NGOM were significantly higher in 2016 than any previous year and were largely from southern Jeffreys Ledge and northern Stellwagen Bank. Maine state waters were surveyed in 2015-16. A strong year-class observed in Cobscook Bay in 2015 recruited to the fishery in 2016. Other rotational areas surveyed with notable densities of harvestable scallops were Machias Bay, Gouldsboro Bay/Dyers Bay and West Vinalhaven (2015) and Cutler coast, Chandler Bay and Lower Blue Hill Bay (2016). Purpose The major objective of the project was to develop a survey program to assess scallop distribution and abundance in federal waters of the NGOM Scallop Management Area (as defined in Amendment 11 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan) and to estimate a biologically sustainable TAC for the stock.

The NGOM resource and associated fishery are at times locally important but amount to a small portion of the total stock and landings. The fishery is managed by total allowable catch (TAC) independently of the rest of the EEZ sea scallop stock. The NGOM fishery does not use biological reference points as targets or thresholds. A cooperative survey was carried out by the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and the University of Maine in May-June 2012. Survey results indicate that the biomass (by meat weight) of NGOM sea scallops targeted by the fishery (102+ mm or 4+ in shell height) was approximately 164 MT (90% confidence interval of 74-279 MT) in 2012. Landings during 2009-12 amounted to approximately 7 MT. Based on these biomass estimates the exploitation rate in weight (landings/stock biomass, assuming harvested scallops greater than 102 mm shell height and a survey dredge efficiency of 43.6%) during 2012 was 2.1% with a 90% confidence interval from 1.3% to 4.7%.
