hippoglossoides, in the Northwest Atlantic from Tagging in the Labrador-Newfoundland Region*
Migratory patterns of Greenland halibut in the Northwest Atlantic were investigated by two tagging experiments in 1969 and 1971 using longlines to capture the fish and three experiments in 1979-80 using otter trawls. Of nearly 24,400 tags applied, only 1.3 % have been recovered to the end of 1983, t...
