Greenland Halibut Depth Variations of Catch-per-unit Effort, Length Composition, Mature Proportions and Associated By-catches in Divisions 3LMNO
In this paper we present a review of the geographic and bathimetric patterns of occurrence of the Greenland halibut catches in NAFO Divisions 3LMNO and their incidence on the catch of other stocks, namely cod, American plaice and yellowtail and witch flounders. The Greenland halibut mature proportio...
