Results of the 1999 fish harvesters' committees questionnaire and a comparison of sentinel and commercial catch rates for NAFO divisions 2J3KL / H. Jarvis, R. Stead.: Fs70-1/2000-103E-PDF

Sentinel survey participants are commercial fish harvesters who have received training in the collection of biological and oceanographic data. These data have become widely used in cod stock assessments. In 1997 the Fish Food and Allied Workers Union, the project sponsor, and DFO Science developed a questionnaire that was circulated to Professional Fish Harvesters' committees in those communities where sentinel activity takes place. As a method of peer review, these committees were asked to compare sentinel results with their observations from various commercial fisheries and to provide suggestions and recommendations on sentinel processes. In general, their comments agree with the trends seen in sentinel catch rates.
