Stock assessment of Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) Atlantic halibut in 2018.: Fs70-6/2019-038E-PDF

"The Atlantic halibut commercial fishery in the Gulf of St. Lawrence began at the end of the 19th century. During the first half of the 20th century, this resource was exploited by American and Canadian fleets. Since the second half of the 20th century, the species has been exploited almost exclusively by the Canadian fleet from the four Atlantic provinces as well as Quebec. From over 650 t during the 1960s, landings steadily decreased until the early 1980s, totalling 91 t in 1982. Landings increased again in the late 1990s and are now approaching 1,300 t, the highest level recorded in the past 60 years"--Context, page [1].
