Status of Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in NAFO subdivision 3Ps / K.S. Dwyer ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2016-054E-PDF

Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Subdivision (Subdiv.) 3Ps was last fully assessed in 2001 (DFO 2001). Prior to the moratorium in 1993, with the exception of some high catches in 1954-56 (35,000 t), catches were less than 7,500 t. A high peak of 58,000 t was largely due to the 1949 year class and another peak (although lower) in 1985-86 was due to the 1981 year class. Since the moratorium, catches have been low, averaging 227 t (average catch since 1996 is 252 t). Bycatch of Haddock since the moratorium has been mostly the result of the directed cod fishery and a “mixed” white hake fishery.
