Overall Objective:
To evaluate the status of the stock for scallops in the areas which are only open to recreational fishing in SCA CS and/or SCA 1 and to establish a relationship between scallop abundance in the main commercial scallop beds and scallop abundance in recreational fishing areas in the Northland and Coromandel scallop fisheries.
Specific Objectives:
1. To investigate the relationship between scallop abundance in commercial and non-commercial areas in the Northland scallop fishery by undertaking a survey to estimate the current relative and absolute abundance (numbers and biomass in tonnes greenweight and meatweight), length frequency profile, density, and distribution of recruited and pre-recruit scallops in the recreational scallop beds.

2. To estimate yield following the completion of the survey described in Objective 1.

3. Compare the estimates from Objective 1 with other relevant data from previous surveys and, if available, all relevant fine scale catch data.

4. To investigate the relationship between scallop abundance in commercial and non-commercial areas in the Coromandel scallop fishery by undertaking a survey to estimate the current relative and absolute abundance (numbers and biomass in tonnes greenweight and meatweight), length frequency profile, density, and distribution of recruited and pre-recruit scallops in the recreational scallop beds.

5. To estimate yield following the completion of the survey described in Objective 3.

6. Compare the estimates from Objective 3 with other relevant data from previous surveys and, if available, all relevant fine scale catch data

Note: The project will need to be undertaken in conjunction with project SCA2020-01: SCA 1 and SCA CS biomass survey and dredge efficiency.
