Summary: | An assessment of the cod stock in NAFO Division 3M is performed. A Bayesian model, as used in the last assessments, was used to perform the analysis. As there are inconsistencies with total catch of the last four years, a prior was added for 2011 and 2012 catch, the Daily Catch Report data were used in 2013 and the STATLANT21A in 2014. Results indicate a general increase in SSB since 2005, reaching a value well above Blim since 2009. |
