Following the recommendations of the 2000 Scientific Council Meeting, this year was conducted for second time a comparative fishing (Paz et al. 2000) between Canadian and Spanish Survey vessels in the Grand Bank (NAFO Div. 3NO) during 21 to 23 of May 2001. Although this year three ships were involved in the comparative experience, this paper presents only the results of the comparison between C/V Playa de Menduiña and R/V Wilfred Templeman. This paper presents the results of this 2001 comparative fishing from the Spanish vessel and the catches by set for the Canadian vessel. In addition, are presented the catches in weight and in number for the main species corresponding to both Spanish and Canadian vessels in the 2000-01 comparative fishing exercises.
