Assessment of Greenland halibut in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) in 2016 .: Fs70-6/2017-049E-PDF
“Until the mid-1970s, Greenland Halibut (commonly called black halibut or turbot) from the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) were not subjected to any directed fishery. At the end of the 1970s, a Greenland Halibut fishery developed using gillnets and bottom trawls ... Resource assessment is conducted every two years to highlight changes in the status of the resource justify adjustments to the conservation approach and management plan. The main indicators used for the assessment are taken from fishery statistical data, sampling of commercial catches and research surveys. A science peer review meeting was conducted February 22, 2017 in Mont-Joli, Qc. Participants at the science review were from DFO Science, DFO Fisheries Management, fishing industry, provincial governments, Academia and Aboriginal organisations"--Context, p. [1].
