Assessment of Newfoundland east and south coast herring in 2017 and 2018.: Fs70-6/2019-049E-PDF

"The spring research gillnet program was used to update the stock status in Bonavista Bay, Trinity Bay and Fortune Bay. A similar gillnet research program conducted through the Coastal Baseline Program was used to update stock status for Placentia Bay. Given the absence of a quantitative indicator to evaluate stock trajectory, the group was unable to provide advice on stock status for White Bay-Notre Dame Bay or Conception Bay, Southern Shore. In all areas except Fortune Bay, spawning stock composition changed in the early 2000s from spring spawner to fall spawner dominance. Although strong recruitment of several spring spawner year classes increased the percentage of spring spawners in 2016-2017, the proportion remains below those observed prior to the 2000s"--Overview, page 2.
