Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.It is possible to estimate the exploitation rate (fraction of stock removed) by a Þshery using data from Þsh tagging experiments. Exploitation rate estimates can then be used in conjunction with estimates of landings by the Þshery to estimate stock size. This is particularly useful for inshore stock components if the near-shore topography causes problems for common survey methods, e.g. trawl and acoustic surveys. A series of comprehensive Atlantic cod tagging studies have been conducted in NAFO Divisions 3L and 3K (3KL) and Subdivision 3Ps during 1997-2000. Over 49 000 cod in total have been tagged and released in 123 experiments. We use 7394 tag-returns from the cod Þsheries in 1997-2000 to estimate the exploitation and migration rates of cod in these regions. Migrations of tagged Þsh must be accounted for to get unbiased estimates of exploitation rates. In addition, knowledge of migration rates is also required to assess the total ...
