Comparing productivity of North Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) stocks and limits to growth production
Abstract Data from stock assessments were used to compare stock biomass, annual growth (Gs) and surplus production per capita (TSPc) and per unit biomass (TSPb) among 15 cod ( Gadus morhua ) stocks in the North Atlantic. TSPc ranged from 99 to 1012 g per fish among stocks and averaged 448 g per fish...
