520	|aThe stock of American plaice in Subdivision 3Ps has been under moratorium since September 1993. Catches averaged just under 4000 t during the 1980's but rapidly declined after 1991. There has been no directed fishery since the moratorium was instituted and catch has not exceeded 500 t. The fishery has changed substantially post-moratorium with a larger inshore component, a substantial truncation in the length distribution and a much higher percentage of females in the catch. Since 1992, research vessel surveys indicate that the stock has been at a very low level. Given the current low stock size and the lack of recruitment indicated by the surveys and the slow growing nature of the American plaice there is little prospect of significant rebuilding in the short to medium return.
