On per unit effort catch data for northern cod, according to Mustad, which is very experienced in cod fisheries in the autoline segment, the average catch rates in the North Atlantic are nowhere near what fishers in Newfoundland and Labrador have experienced this year.
Based on that data, if a very conservative exploitation rate of 4% is desired by most industry stakeholders I've talked to, will you commit to doubling the northern cod quota this year in light of what fishermen are faced with in the Atlantic snow crab?
