Assessment of 4X haddock in 1998 and the first half of 1999 / P.C.F. Hurley … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-147E-PDF
This document contains an evaluation of the NAFO Division 4X haddock stock for 1998 and the first half of 1999. As in the previous assessment of this stock (Hurley et al. 1998), haddock caught by Canadian fishermen in NAFO Division 5Y are included in the analysis. Haddock in the Bay of Fundy area grow faster than haddock on the Scotian Shelf in 4X. As a result, haddock landings from 4Xmnop and 4Xqrs/5Y are handled separately and separate age/length keys are used for the two areas, designated as Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy stock components respectively. Similarly haddock catches from the research vessel survey strata 470-481 and 482-495 are handled separately, as Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy components. In 1999, the fishing year was changed from January to December to April to March. The TAC of 8,100 t established for the 12-month fishery in 1999 was extended to 9,800 t for the 15-month period ending March 31, 2000, based on the proportion of landings in the first quarter of the year over the last 10 years.
