Exploratory fishing for herring in NAFO Division 4T, spring 1981 / by A. Sinclair and R.J. Allain.: Fs70-8/81-61E-PDF

"Exploratory fishing for herring was carried out in the 'edge' area of NAFO Division 4T by five purse seiners under contract with Fisheries and Oceans. A total of five nights of fishing occurred between April 25-30, 1981. On the fourth and fifth nights five additional searching vessels joined the fleet. The traditional 'edge' and the so-called new 'edge' areas were searched intensively for three nights. The fleet then broke into 2 parts, one searching the area north of P.E.I. while the second searched the waters around the Magdalen Islands and as far west as Orphan Bank. No herring were encountered by any vessel throughout the exploratory period."--Abstract.
