Capelin (Mallotus villosus) biology and history of the fishery in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Div. 4RS / by B.S. Nakashima, J.E. Carscadden and G.R. Lilly.: Fs70-8/82-29E-PDF
"Capelin in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence were observed in three distinct areas: 1) the St. Lawrence estuary, 2) east of Anticosti Island, and 3) the northeastern portion of the Gulf in the Esquiman Channel. Distribution maps plotted from groundfish, redfish and shrimp, and pelagic surveys demonstrated that capelin were aggregated in these areas throughout the year except in spring during spawning season. Further research is required to demonstrate whether the three groups are separate stocks. Growth has not varied greatly since 1976. Annual landings from the commercial purse seine fishery has varied from 1500 to 8200 mt in Div. 4R since 1977."
