Updated indices of abundance to 2014 for stocks of six groundfish species assessed by DFO Gulf Region .: Fs70-7/2015-015E-PDF

Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (FAM) requested a review of the DFO survey information on the following species in NAFO Area 4T: Atlantic cod, American plaice, white hake, winter flounder, and yellowtail flounder. In addition, information on witch flounder in the 4RST area (northern and southern Gulf of St. Lawrence) was requested by FAM. For this stock, data from RV and sentinel surveys of the southern Gulf were combined with data from similar surveys conducted in the northern Gulf to construct survey indices. A similar update of indices for these species was completed to the year 2013 (DFO 2014). The survey information in this update will be communicated by FAM to the various industry stakeholders for the intervening years of the multi-year management plan. The information may also be used to determine which stocks may benefit from a detailed review in future years.
