Effects of a by-catch of young redfish in the Port au Choix shrimp fishery--first implications / by D.G. Parsons.: Fs70-8/78-8E-PDF

"Shrimp fisheries in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are well-known to produce a visually impressive by-catch of young, unmarketable redfish. These fish are discarded and die. Consequently, each year millions of small/young redfish are removed through the Gulf fisheries. This paper attempts to assess the immediate and project the long-term effects of such removals and help place the problem in perspective. Data are minimal and the preliminary, one-point estimates should be viewed with caution"--Introduction.
