Assessment of Pacific cod in Hecate Strait, Nov. 2000 [electronic resource] / A.F. Sinclair. Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2000. 56 p. : fig., graphs, maps, tables. Canadian Stock Assessment Secretariat research document, 1480-4883 ; 2000/170 Includes bibliographic references (p. 20-22). This assessment deals with the Hecate Strait Pacific cod stock. It begins with a description of the fishery since the mid-1950s. A detailed analysis of the spatial and seasonal characteristics of the fishery since 1994 is then presented. A catch per unit effort time series is presented for the entire time period and it is subsequently used as an index of abundance for the stock in an analytical assessment. Results of the groundfish assemblage survey in Hecate Strait from 1984-1998 were analyzed in another document. New data from the 2000 survey are presented here. A surplus production analysis of stock status is presented and the results are discussed in relation to biological reference points for management. Assessment uncertainties are discussed. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Canada. Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Canada.
