Since then, DFO in collaboration with the fishing industry has been conducting a fishery independent trawl survey. This survey is conducted annually and is the main assessment tool for determining the population status and dynamics. It provides indices of future recruitment to the fishery, spawning stock size, natural mortality, molting cycles and relative exploitation rates.
