Description
Summary:Descript ion of the reproduct ive aspects of Greenland hal ibut (Reinhardt ius hippoglossoides) in the Flemish Pass area in NAFO Div. 3L and 3M based on data from observers on board the Spanish commercial fishing fleet between May 1990 and December 1991 is presented. A maximum in the proportion of spawning females was found in summer with a secondary peak in December, while some spawning activity was observed throughout the rest of the year. The length at 50 % maturity varied from 67.3 cm in 1990 (Div. 3L and 3M) to 73.2 cm in 1991 (Div. 3M). The influence of the reproductive behaviour on the evolution of catch rates is discussed.
