Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Since 1998, ICES has provided advice to clients within a framework of limit and precautionary reference points set by technical experts, and target reference points set by managers, and has used a probabilistic framework suitable for risk-based management. Management of Atlantic salmon in the North American and Greenland Commission areas is based on a fixed escapement strategy. This fixed escapement for North American salmon has some properties of both limit and target reference points, as the terms are used by ICES. The resemblance to a limit reference point is due to expected recruitment declining below the fixed escapement. Declining recruitment is a conservation concern, and hence, spawning escapement to North America below the fixed escapement is an undesirable event to be avoided with high probability. The similarity to a target reference point arises because the fixed escapement is also the escapement thought to produce maximum ...
