Stock status update of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in NAFO divisions 4X5Yb .: Fs70-7/2018-020E-PDF
"In 2003, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assessed the Maritimes Designatable Unit (DU) of Atlantic Cod as Special Concern. In 2010, COSEWIC split the Maritimes DU into two new DUs, the Laurentian South DU and the Southern DU, including NAFO Divs. 4X5Yb, and re-assessed the Southern DU as Endangered due to significant decline in abundance and evidence of an unexplained increase in natural mortality in NAFO Div. 4X. The last 4X5Yb Atlantic Cod stock status update was conducted in 2016 and the present Science Response is the result of a request for a stock status update from Resource Management (Maritimes Region) using the most recent DFO Summer Research Vessel (RV) surveys (2016-2017) and fishery landing data up to 2016”--Context, p.
