Variability in the inshore cod fishery of Labrador and eastern Newfoundland / by W. H. Lear.: Fs70-8/87-2E-PDF
"The annual catches of cod from the inshore fishery of Newfoundland-Labrador have been highly variable in the past 100 years. The reasons for these fluctuations are not clear but are likely to be various and include environmental, economic and other factors caused by local and global events. Anecdotal information on cod availability and abundance suggests that cod show variable patterns of abundance along the coast. Recaptures of cod tagged near the coast of Newfoundland during June 1984, 1985, and 1986 indicated that there are local variations in proportions of cod which migrate during summer into the shallow water zone from the different concentrations off the coast"--Abstract.
