Assessment of British Columbia Pacific cod for areas 3CD and 5ABCD in 2018.: Fs70-6/2019-008E-PDF
“Pacific Cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is a commercially important species of cod that occurs along the entire coast of British Columbia. Pacific Cod is a relatively short lived species (10-11 years, DFO 2015). The majority of catches are taken in Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound, where abundance is highest, although large catches have historically been taken off the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Pacific Cod are caught by the groundfish bottom trawl fishery and in small amounts by hook and line fisheries. Four stocks of Pacific Cod are defined for management purposes in BC: Strait of Georgia (4B); West Coast Vancouver Island (3CD); Queen Charlotte Sound (5AB); and Hecate Strait (5CD)."--Context, page [1].
