Year-class strength of northern cod (2J3KL) and southern Grand Bank cod (3NO) estimated from the pelagic juvenile fish survey in 1998 / by John T. Anderson … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-80E-PDF

The pelagic juvenile fish survey was carried out from August 24 to September 10, 1998 from southern Labrador to the southern Grand Bank, including the inshore areas of the northeast coast of Newfoundland (NAFO 2J3KNO). Abundance of pelagic juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was relatively high in 1998, compared to surveys carried out 1994-1997. The high abundance in 1998 resulted from high abundance on the Grand Bank (3LNO) compared to other years. Abundance on the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf (2J3K) was relatively low offshore while inshore it was mid-range compared to the previous four years. Over the five years during which the survey has been carried out, abundance in 2J3KL declined from 1994 to 1996 and has increased since then. However, abundance in 1997 and 1998 remained below that measured in 1994 and 1995.
