Science Response 2016/008

Update of indicators of the status of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) Atlantic Halibut stock in 2015

Context

The stock assessment of Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (4RST) is conducted every two years, with the most recent assessment completed in February 2015. In interim years, an update of the main indicators of this resource is done to determine if major changes in stock status have occurred that would justify a more in-depth study prior to the assessment scheduled for winter 2017. This update was prepared to give Fisheries Management an overview of the most recent stock status.

This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process from January 20, 2016, on the Stock Status Update of Atlantic Halibut in 4RST.
