4VsW cod : background to the 1979 assessment / by David F. Gray.: Fs70-8/79-30E-PDF

"In 1978 major changes took place in the fishery for cod in subdivision 4Vs and division 4W. Catch rates showed a marked improvement in both commerical and research catches and the stock seemed to concentrate more on Middle Bank and Banquereau than usual. After a number of years in which the assessments have indicated a declining or depressed stock size, these changes were noted with interest by both industry and the government scientists. It was decided that a detailed analysis of this stock was needed to determine their meaning and implications. The CAFSAC Groundfish Subcommittee held a special meeting to consider this stock on April 19-20, 1979 and gave it further consideration at the annual assessment meeting May 28-June 9, 1979. This document presents the data considered at those meetings with an explanation of sources and methods of analysis"--Introduction.
