Witch Flounder (Gyptocephalus cynoglossus) in the Spanish Deep-sea Fishery (NAFO Divisions 3LMNO), 1991–94
The by-catch of witch flounder (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus) was studied in the Spanish deep-sea fishery for Greenland halibut, which developed in the NAFO Regulatory Area in Div. 3LMNO over the period 1991–94. A total of 32 483 hauls were sampled. Some data from the Div. 3NO Spanish bottom trawl sur...
