Science Response 2020/005

Update of stock status indicators for Greenland Halibut in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) in 2019

Context

The Gulf of St. Lawrence (NAFO Divisions 4RST) Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) stock is assessed and managed on a two-year cycle. In the interim years, Quebec Region Science prepares an update of the resource's key indicators to determine if there has been a significant change in stock status that could justify a full stock assessment before the expected date and a possible revision of the advice. The next full assessment of this stock is scheduled for the winter of 2021.

This Science Response is a result of the Science Response Process of December 4^th 2019 on the Update of Stock Status Indicators for Greenland Halibut in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) in 2019.

Additional publications from this meeting will be posted on the DFO Science Advisory Schedule as they become available.
