Mr. Finnigan, we use traditional techniques used throughout wildlife science to measure the fish, called “mark-recapture” techniques, which essentially involve tagging fish and recaptioning them at some location later, and from that you can infer their population. It's what is done in virtually all wildlife fields. That's the technique we use. In our trap nets on the Miramichi, we're also tagging fish consistently and tracking them throughout the Gulf of Saint Lawrence for their movements. But I think the most important thing for us is that we now have a long-term dataset, and even though it may not be the perfect monitoring system, we can develop trends, which is most important for wildlife management.
In terms of how it gets applied, I can assure you that every year when we produce our reports that are made public through the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat—done in January of this year—our fisheries management folks undertake to take a look at the status of the population. As you can see from the past few years, there's been an adaptive management approach to science indicators and management response.
