An update on Georges Bank (5Z) herring / by G.D. Melvin, J.B. Sochasky, M.J. Power, D.J. Gordon and W.H. Dougherty.: Fs70-8/91-55E-PDF
"Current data on the status of Georges Bank herring are updated. Evidence from Canadian and US fall surveys indicate that the stock is well on its way to recovery. Larval abundance and bottom trawl catch rate indices continue to show annual increases in relative abundance. Positive signs have also been noted in biological indicators such as length composition and age distribution. As well as the general distribution of larvae and mature herring appears to be expanding each year"--Abstract, page 2.
