Assessment of the cod stock in NAFO divisions 2J+3KL / by J.W. Baird and C.A. Bishop.: Fs70-8/87-42E-PDF
"Nominal catches for this stock declined from a peak of about 800,000 t in 1968 to a low of about 140,000 t in 1978. Catches for the period 1982-85 have been about 230,000 t while the catch for 1986 was about 250,000 t. This assessment indicates that the age 4+ biomass has increased from about 280,000 t in 1976 to the 1986 estimate of about 1.5 million tons. The 1980-82 year-class contributes about 80% of the 1986 age 4+ biomass. Assuming that the 256,000 t TAC for 1987 will be taken, the 1988 F0-1 catch is estimated to be 293,000 t. The expected contribution of the 1980-82 year-classes to the projected 1988 catch is about 63% by weight"--Abstract, page 2.
