An assessment of the cod stock in NAFO subdiv. 3Ps in October 2000 / J. Brattey … [et al.].: Fs70-1/2000-134E-PDF

This document summarizes scientific information used to determine the status of the cod stock in NAFO Subdivision 3Ps off the south coast of Newfoundland during 1 April 2001 and evaluates alternative total allowable catch (TAC) options for the management year 1 April 2001-31 March 2002. Previous assessments provided scientific advice on a calendar year basis, but in 2000 the management year was changed to begin on 1 April and end 31 March the following year. Sources of information for this assessment were: a time series (1973-2000) of abundance and biomass indices from Canadian winter/spring research vessel bottom trawl surveys, reported landings from commercial fisheries including a 6,000 t interim TAC during 1 January-31 March 2000, a third industry trawl survey on St. Pierre Bank, inshore sentinel surveys (1995-1999), science logbooks from vessels <35’, and tagging studies. The fishery was still in progress at the time of the assessment and information from the 20,000 t TAC from 1 April 2000-31 March 2001 was not available.
