Pacific hake - Strait of Georgia stock assessment for 1999 and recommended yield options for 2000 / M.W. Saunders and G.A. MacFarlane.: Fs70-1/1999-200E-PDF
The fishery in the Strait of Georgia decreased substantially to 3,996 t in 1998 from 6,561 t in 1997, a result of low market demand. Age and growth data continue to indicate strong recruitment during the 1990's and a coincidental decline in the mean size-at-age. Yield options remain unchanged from the previous assessment with a range of 7,554-14,687 t. Due to uncertainty in the current assessment, including evidence of increasing seal predation it is recommended that managers choose a quota from the lower half of the yield range.
