Sentinel Surveys 1995-2006: Catch per Unit Effort in NAFO Division 2J3KL

By Maddock Parsons, D. and R. Stead

Abstract

Data from the Sentinel program in NAFO Div. 2J3KL are summarized and updated for 2006. They are presented as weekly average catch rates and annual length frequencies scaled to effort and grouped by NAFO Div. In 2006, gillnet catch rates (5½") were similar to 2005 values in 2J and 3L but up slightly in 3K. Small mesh gillnet catch rates increased from 2005 in both 2J and 3K while 3L values were close to the series low. Linetrawl in both 3K and 3L had lower catch rates than in 2005.
