Assessment of the winter skate fishery in division 4VsW [electronic resource] / J.E. Simon and K.T. Frank. Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2000. 52 p. : fig., graphs, maps, tables. Canadian Stock Assessment Secretariat research document, 1480-4883 ; 2000/140 Includes bibliographic references (p. 14). This document contains information and analyses relevant to the experimental skate fishery on the eastern Scotia Shelf. This document provides a comprehensive assessment of winter skate (Raja ocellata) based upon a recent fishery, a co-operative industry/science skate survey, and research vessel survey data. Although five species of skate (winter skate, thorny Raja radiate, smooth Raja senta, little Raja erinacea and barndoor Raja laevis) occur on the Scotian Shelf, the commercial fishery directs for winter skate with a small bycatch of thorny skate within the Div. 4VsW management unit. Previous assessments of the stock were conducted in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1998 and have provided information on the detailed history of the fishery and the industry surveys, bycatch information, age and growth maturity of winter skate. This information is not summarized in the document. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Frank, Kenneth T. Canada.
