Maritimes Summer Research Vessel Survey Trends
Summary
- Catches in the 2009 summer research vessel (RV) survey were quite high for a variety of groundfish species on the Scotian Shelf and Gulf of Maine, but catches remained low for most species in the Bay of Fundy.
- In recent years, there is no clear trend in RV survey biomass indices for 4VW haddock, 4VW white hake, 4X5Y white hake, 4X5Y cod, 4VW American plaice, 4X witch flounder, or pollock (Eastern or Western management areas).
- Biomass indices for Unit 3 redfish, 4X winter flounder, and 4VW witch flounder are displaying an increasing trend.
