Redfish in NAFO division 3P / by D.B. Atkinson and D. Power.: Fs70-8/87-43E-PDF

"Catches, while remaining well below the present TAC, doubled between 1985 and 1986 to about 6,600 t in 1986. These were split fairly evenly between Subdiv. 3Pn and 3Ps. Martimime vessels took most of the catch in Subdiv. 3Pn while Newfoundland vessels took the most in Subdiv. 3Ps. A non-equilibrium model was used for the first time to assess this stock. It indicated a yield, in 1988 at 2/3 effort MEY of about 15,000 t. Catchability has been below the long term average in recent years, however, and this would suggest that an increase in effort would be necessary if this catch is to be achieved. There is evidence, from research surveys, that recruitment to this fishery will increase in the next few years"--Abstract, page 2.
