The Scotia-Fundy Region groundfish hook and line fisheries : a digest of quantities and sizes landed, and comparisons with other gear types / by R.G. Halliday and K.J. Clark.Fs97-4/2271E-PDF

"In the period 1987-91, about 100,000 t of groundfish were landed annually in Atlantic Canada from boats fishing with hook and line gear. Most of this (60%) was landed by Scotia-Fundy Region fleets. Landings by Scotia-Fundy hook and line boats are compared with those of other Regions and the size compositions of Atlantic cod, haddock and Atlantic halibut landings by these boats are compared to those by other gears and among areas of capture. For cod, age compositions are also compared. It was found that boats using hook and line gears usually land larger fish on average than do mobile gear boats when fishing occurs in the same general area and season"--Abstract, page iii.
