Summary: | In this paper the geographic, bathymetric and seasonal distribution of the adult Greenland halibut stock exploited in the Flemish Pass area (Div. 3LMN) is analysed for the period 1990 - 1993 using data collected by observers on board the commercial fleet. A southward shift of the fishing area took place and adult fish and spawning activity were recorded in unsual areas. The main areas and seasons of spawning are described. A peak time for spawning has not been found and spawning females appeared evenly represented at any time of the day. |
