Summary: | The paper presents the background and the input parameters from research surveys and the commercial fishery to the assessment of the Greenland halibut stock component in NAFO Subarea 0 + Div. 1A offshore + Div. 1B-1F. During 2006-2009 catches have been around 24,000 tons. Catches increased to 26 900 tons in 2010 and has been at that level since. Survey trawlable biomass in Div. 0B decreased between 2011 and 2013 while biomass and recruitment increases in the Greenland shrimp fish survey and the recruitment of the 2012 year class in the entire survey area was the third largest in the time series. A combined standardized CPUE series from Div. 0A + 1AB has been stable since 2002. A combined CPUE series from Div. 1CD+0B decreased between 2011 and 2012 but increased slightly in 2013 and is above the level in 1990-2004. A combined standardized CPUE series from SA0 and 1 combined has been increasing gradually since 1997 and was in 2013 at the third highest level seen since 1990. CPUE series from the gill net in Div. 0A and Div. 0B were close to or at the highest level in the time series. |
