Science response : scallop fishery closure to protect cod Dartmouth, N.S. : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2015. 7 p. : fig., maps, tables. Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat - science response, 1919-3769 ; 2015/012, Maritimes Region Issued also in French under title: Fermetures spatio-temporelles de la pêche du pétoncle destinées à protéger les bancs de morue qui frayent dans 5Z (banc Georges). "April 2015." Includes bibliographical references (p. 6). This document provides information on the spatial distribution of Cod abundance on eastern Georges Bank during the spawning period based upon the DFO February/March Georges Bank research vessel (RV) survey and its overlap with Scallop catches on the Canadian portion of Georges Bank. In the 2013 analysis, a comparison of the most recent 10-year spatial distribution of Cod to that for the whole time series (starting in 1996) showed that a change in distribution had occurred (DFO, 2013). It was determined that using the most recent 10-year moving window to examine the spatial trends of Cod distribution during the spawning period should achieve the objective of reducing Cod bycatch and disturbance of spawning aggregations. Therefore, this analysis uses data on Cod distribution from 2005 to 2014. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Molluscs gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Canada.
