Description:

Combined Canada and USA catches in 2019 were 8 mt. The declining trend in survey biomass to low levels, despite reductions in catch to historical low amounts, indicates a poor state of the resource. Recent catch is low relative to the biomass estimated from the surveys but catch curve analyses indicate declining but high total mortality rates (Z above 1 for most years). Stock biomass is low and productivity is poor.
