Stock assessment of Atlantic halibut of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) in 2016 .: Fs70-6/2017-052E-PDF

"The Atlantic halibut commercial fishery in the Gulf of St. Lawrence began at the end of the 19th century. The current Atlantic halibut stock management unit in the Gulf, NAFO Divisions 4RST, was defined in 1987. Assessment of the resource is conducted every two years in order to highlight changes in the status of the resource that would justify adjustments to the conservation measures and management plan. The current assessment puts into perspective the available information on the biological characteristics of the Gulf halibut and its commercial exploitation for 2015 and 2016"--Context, p. [1].
