Stock assessment for lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) for the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia in 2014 .: Fs70-6/2015-014E-PDF

Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) are an important component of both the commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries off British Columbia, Canada. This stock assessment updates stock status for the inside stock in the Strait of Georgia (SOG), British Columbia. All stock assessment scenarios estimate a continued recovery in Strait of Georgia spawning biomass to 2014 from historically low levels in the late 1980’s. In all scenarios, spawning biomass in 2014 was estimated with 100% certainty to be greater than spawning biomass at the start of the current management regime in 2006.
