Sentinel Surveys 1995-2002: Catch per Unit Effort in NAFO Divisions 2J3KL

By Parsons, M.D. and Stead, R.

Abstract

Sentinel enterprises continued to provide catch rate and biological information on inshore cod resources in 2J3KL for 2002. Data are presented as weekly average catch rates and annual relative length frequencies: number of fish at length divided by amount of gear for each set and averaged by year and gear type, grouped by division. Catch rates in gillnet and on linetrawl were similar to those in 2001, still lower than the best observed catch rates in sentinel by about half. Small mesh gillnet catches increased in 2J in 2002 but did not reach the levels seen in 1997 or 1998.
