Acoustic estimates of the Barents Sea capeling stock 1971-1976
Original version
This report is not to be quoted without prior consultation with the General Secretary.Abstract
The surveys were carried out in June and in August - October. No estimates were obtained for 0-group capelin. 1 year old capeling are grossly underestimated in June. To a lesser extent this is also the case for older capelin. The estimates from the autumn surveys seem to be more reliable, and with respect to the spawning stock they correspond reasonable well with the estimates from tagging experiments and the trend of the catches.
