Atlantic halibut on the Scotian Shelf and southern Grand Banks : data review and assessment model update / C.E. den Heyer ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2015-051E-PDF
This document describes the biology of Atlantic halibut as it pertains to the stock assessment, reports on updated landings data, and updates indices of abundance and biomass for Atlantic halibut, including the DFO summer RV survey in 4VWX, DFO Spring RV survey in 3NOPs, Industry-DFO Halibut Survey and the Commercial Index fishery. Notable changes to data preparation for the assessment include a new methodology for estimation of the annual length-weight relationship and improved handling of the Industry-DFO Halibut Survey data. Also, the catch-at-length for the longline fishery is presented separately for 3NOPs and 4VWX5Z, to better describe differences in the catch composition which may result from spatial variation in the fishery and/or distribution of the stock.
