The fishery for striped pink shrimp, Pandalus montagui, in Ungava Bay and eastern Hudson Strait in 1986 / by D.G. Parsons and P.J. Veitch.: Fs70-8/87-13E-PDF

"Details of limited commercial fishing in eastern Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay in 1986 are reviewed. Catch and effort data show that catch rates in both areas were extremely high (5000-8000 kg/hr) and that much of the time on the grounds was spent processing the catch. The 1986 catch rates were substantially higher than reported previously for these areas. In Ungava Bay there appears to have been an increase in abundance from 1982 levels, as well as a shift in distribution. In Hudson Strait, distribution appears to have shifted to more southerly and deeper waters than in 1982 but it was difficult to interpret changes in abundance. These changes and apparent changes in size composition indicate a dynamic system in which the key parameters are not understood. Advice on exploitation is provided"--Abstract, page 2.
