Stock assessment of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in NAFO divisions 4X5Y.: Fs70-6/2019-015E-PDF
“Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) ranges from Georges Bank to northern Labrador in the Canadian Atlantic. There are several concentrations of Cod within this range, including those on the Southern Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy in Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Divisions 4X and 5Y. In 2010, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assessed the southern population unit (4X5YZjm) as Endangered, and a Recovery Potential Assessment was completed in 2011. The last 4X5Y Cod stock assessment was conducted in 2008, with stock status updates provided in 2014, 2016, and 2017. A framework assessment for the 4X5Y Cod stock was undertaken in March and November 2018, including a review of data and inputs, ecosystem information, modelling approaches, and data-limited approaches. Fisheries Management has requested that Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science apply the modelling approach developed in November 2018 to provide catch advice and inform the rebuilding plan for this stock"--Context, page [1].
