Assessment of yield potential of eastern Newfoundland herring stocks / by G.H. Winters and J.A. Moores.: Fs70-8/77-12E-PDF

"Herring fisheries along eastern Newfoundland have never until recently contributed significantly to commercial fish landings in Newfoundland, not even during the late 1910's when total landings of herring from Newfoundland waters soared to 85,000 m tons in response to requests from UNRA for herring as food for war-torn Europe. East coast herring landings peaked at 7000 m tons during this period, a level substantially below potential yields; landings dropped to between 1000-2000 m tons in the 1950's and 60's with most of the landings being utilized as lobster bait and dog food"--Introduction.
