International fisheries on oceanic redfish (Sebastes mentella travin) in the North Atlantic
2006
Shibanov, V.N. | Melnikov, S.P.
Annual and seasonal dynamics of international pelagic fishery on oceanic redfish in the North Atlantic for 1982-2005 is analyzed using fisheries and biological data. History of fisheries on this stock is divided into four main stages. Present state of pelagic fisheries is described. A possibility to use catch per unit effort (CPUE) as an indicator of stock state is considered. Fishing pattern and seasonal changes in CPUE by areas and depths are linked to the specific seasonal patterns of redfish distribution. The effects of pelagic fisheries on some biological parameters of redfish are discussed. The proposal of Icelandic scientists to single out two distinct stocks of oceanic redfish is considered as groundless. The presence of two fishing areas is related to the distribution of oceanic redfish in different seasons of the year
