Change in weight of Atlantic salmon at West Greenland its relationship to numbers of fish caught per tonne / by D.G. Reddin.: Fs70-8/80-9E-PDF

"The increase in weight of Atlantic salmon of North American and Europeanorigin caught at West Greenland is correlated with date of capture. Linearregressions calculated for 1972-73 data showed 28% less salmon were caught per tonne in a fishery with a mean date of 13 October compared to a mean date of 30 July. This effect is assumed to occur in all years and for all sea ages. Losses from the West Greenland fishery to home waters stocks and fisheries has increased in years with earlier harvest dates as opposed to those with later harvest dates. Recent trends have been for earlier opening and earlier closing dates for the West Greenland fishery."
