Stock status update of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) on the Scotian Shelf and southern Grand Banks in NAFO divisions 3NOPs4VWX5Zc .: Fs70-7/2018-022E-PDF

"Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is the largest of the flatfishes and ranges widely over Canada's East Coast. The management unit definition, Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Divisions 3NOPs4VWX5Zc, is based largely on tagging results that indicate that Atlantic Halibut move extensively throughout the Canadian North Atlantic with smaller fish moving further than larger fish. Resource Management asked Science to update and evaluate Atlantic Halibut abundance indicators, landings and fishing mortality estimated from tagging data. This response provides 2018-2019 TAC advice based on the Objectives and Harvest Strategy adopted at the Scotia-Fundy Groundfish Advisory Committee (SFGAC) meeting in March 2015”--Context, p. [1].
