CHANGES IN LANDINGS Until 1952 landings fluctuated from about 60 to 120 million pounds per year. When the Eur- opeans started otter trawling on this stock, landings quickly jumped to peaks of about 220 million pounds in 1956 and 1959. Since then, landings seem to be levelling off around 150 million pounds annually. European ves- sate pre still taking about a third

As fishing practices changed and as annual landings increas- | ed, the sizes of cod landed de- creased. Difference between 1949 and 1963 can be seen in the figure. The information is shown in terms of an average landing for a week's fishing by a north-

The decrease in size of cod jlanded reflects two things: (1) Fish over 28 8nches in length are scarce in the Gulf. (2) Pro- Processing plants can use fish around 16 inches long and a \little over a pound in weight. | This has affected Gulf cod fish- /ermen. They used to discard many small cod.

THE FUTURE

In- forecasting the future 6 the fishery several factors are taken into account. Water tem- perature and circulation affect the number of young cod hatch- | ed in an annual brood, and ‘also|. affect thé ‘availability of adult fish to the fishermen. Growth“of the adult fish is affected by food supply as well as by water tem- perature.
