Using Collaborative Research to Better Manage the Scotian Shelf Sea Cucumber Resource" David Bethoney Research Assistant Professor Department of Fisheries Oceanography School for Marine Science and Technology University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Wednesday, November 20 , 2019 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm SMAST East Rooms 101/102 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford Abstract: Sea cumbers are benthic, echinoderms with a global history of over exploitation due to slow population growth, dense, predictable aggregations, and high value. Despite this history, the growing Nova Scotian sea cucumber fishery is managed only through catch per unit effort trends. However, area specific licenses give companies the opportunity to better manage their portion of the resource. One company, Ocean Pride Fisheries, sought fisheries-independent, spatially explicit distribution and abundance estimates. To achieve this goal the company partnered with academic scientists to adapt a drop camera survey method, used to monitor Atlantic sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) populations since 1999, to monitor sea cucumbers (Cucumaria frondosa). This talk summarizes the progress made towards establishing and continuing this survey method to improve data for sea cucumber fishery management.
