A review of the Canadian swordfish fishery / by P.C.F. Hurley and T.D. Iles.: Fs70-8/80-81E-PDF

"The history of the Canadian swordfish fishery, together with pertinent details of the life history, are reviewed. Changes in the fishery, re-opened in 1979 after eight years, are described. Temporal and areal contraction of the fishery has occurred, largely as a result of extended jurisdiction, and fleet size and effort have decreased substantially. Catch rate and mean fish size have shown only partial recovery after the period of reduced effort"--Abstract.
