Results of the 2005 Fish Harvesters’ Telephone Survey on the Status of Northern (2J3KL) Cod
By Jarvis, H., and R. Stead
Abstract
Prior to the 2005 assessment of Northern Cod, the Fish Food and Allied Workers Union conducted a telephone survey of commercial fish harvesters in NAFO Divi. 2J3KL. Fish harvesters were randomly selected and, overall, nine percent (9%) of licensed harvesters participated in the survey. The questionnaire solicited the opinions of harvesters regarding a number of issues: cod abundance in 2004 compared to abundance in the late 1980s and abundance in 2002; distribution of cod over the fishing area; condition of the fish; and abundance and distribution of prey species. Results varied with the geographic location.
