Book excerpt: This Science Response updates key abundance indicators: landings, catch rate of commercial sizes, and catch rate of sublegal sizes from Fishermen and Scientists Research Society (FSRS) recruitment traps to the end of the 2015 fishing season for LFAs 27- 32 and 2014-2015 for LFA 33. [...] At the framework and assessment for LFAs 27-33 in 2011 and 2012, respectively, commercial catch rate and catch rate of sublegals in standardized traps maintained by the Fishermen and Scientists Research Society (FSRS) were identified as key abundance indicators. [...] Landings The Upper Stock Reference (USR) for the abundance of legal lobsters based on landings (Table 2) is defined as 80% of the median for the period 1985-2009. [...] The metric for assessing where the stock is relative to the USR is the 3-year running mean of landings. [...] In the past three years, CPUE in LFA 27 north and south were higher than those recorded for 2008-2012 and these areas also had the highest values from the voluntary logs.
