An hypothesis on occurrences of bait squid in Newfoundland waters
Bait Squid, Illex illecebrosus, occur sporadically in Newfoundland waters, although in great number in some years, as much as 80,000 tons in 1979, in other years there are very few. Dispersal from a spawning site associated with the Gulf Stream to reach as far north as Newfoundland may depend upon d...

| Summary: | Bait Squid, Illex illecebrosus, occur sporadically in Newfoundland waters, although in great number in some years, as much as 80,000 tons in 1979, in other years there are very few. Dispersal from a spawning site associated with the Gulf Stream to reach as far north as Newfoundland may depend upon differential growth rates of larvae causing some to grow faster and migrate to areas further south in some years. With great spawning success larvae may grow more slowly so reaching further north in other years. |
