Prediction of year-class strength of coastal cod (Gadus morhua) from beach seine catches of 0-group. In: Flødevigen rapportserie no 1, 1992

Abstract

The validity of a beach seine 0-group index as a measure of year-class strength of cod in exposed areas along the Norwegian Skagerrak coast was tested. Fishing with trammel-nets was performed during November and December each year from 1984 to 1990. There was a statistically significant correlation between the two methods for estimation of year-class strength.
