Groundfish stock assessments off the west coast of Canada in 1981 and recommended total allowable catches for 1982 / M. Stocker (editor).: Fs97-4/1626E-PDF

"Recommended Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for 1982, are included for commercially important groundfish stocks off British Columbia, by statistical area (3C, 3D, 48, 5A and 5B, 5C and 5D, and 5E). These TACs are based on the best available information but many are not considered to be precise values, due to the limited information available. Total (all species, all areas) recommended TAC for 1982 is 77,160 t, compared to 86,515 t for 1981. TAC estimates for principal species in 1982 (1981 in parentheses) were: Pacific hake, 45,000 t (35,000 t); dogfish, 9,000 t (9,000 t); Pacific ocean perch, 3,900 t (4,400 t); sablefish, 3,500 t (3,500 t); yellowtail rockfish, 2,350 t (3,050 t); and arrowtooth flounder 2,200 t (3,150 t). No TACs are recommended at this time for Pacific cod and walleye pollock (except for Area 5D). However, these should be announced prior to the 1982 fishing season. For all other species, recommended TACs for 1982 were less than 1,850 t each. All-nations all-species landings from B.C. waters totalled 57,084 t in 1980, and 52,483 t in 1979"--Abstract, page v.
