| Summary: | 102 pages, figures, tables This edition of the Sampling Yearbook summarises the data on lengths, ages and weights of cod, haddock, redfish, American plaice, winter flounder, pollock, white hake and cusk, which have been collected in 1961 to further the investigations of the fisheries and fish stocks of the Northwest Atlantic. In previous issues it had been the practice of the Commission to publish all data for length frequencies, age frequencies and age/length keys or frequencies, but with the increase in the amount of sampling data, submitted by countries, the Sampling Yearbook has grown extensively in size and it was therefore recommended by the Subcommittee that Age/length keys and frequencies be not published. These have been deposited with the Secretariat and will be made available in mimeographed form to Working Groups and individuals on request. The available data by species is published in table form in its applicable section in the volume. [.]
