Georges Bank scallop stock assessment - 1987 / by R.K. Mohn, G. Robert and D.L. Roddick.: Fs70-8/88-3E-PDF

"The Canadian Georges Bank scallop catch for 1987 was 6,800 t, a 45% increase over last year and the highest of the last six years. This continues the recovery from 1984 landings, which were the worst since 1959, and is due to the strong 1982 and good 1981 and 1983 year-classes. The biomass at the end of 1987 is the highest it has been since the peak of 1977-1978. Research data indicates that recent year-classes have not been as strong, and therefore catches will not continue at this level in 1988"--Abstract, page 1.
