Capelin (Mallotus villosus) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence / by J.E. Carscadden.: Fs70-8/79-24E-PDF
"During the early 1970's, a foreign fishery for capelin developed in the Northwest Atlantic. From 1973 to 1975 Industrial Development Branch conducted exploratory fishing to aid the Canadian fishing industry in catching capelin (Hinds 1975). However, it is only in the most recent years that Canadian fishermen have shown an interest in taking capelin to supply the Japanese market for roe capelin. This interest has been evident in the Gulf of St. Lawrence notably the west coast of Newfoundland (landings 1977: 1514 m tons; 1978: 8341 m tons) and in New Brunswick. This paper reviews selected aspects of capelin biology and presents new data pertinent to the management of capelin in the Gulf of St. Lawrence"--Introduction.
