The 2011 Transboundary Resource Assessment Committee stock status reports for EEGB cod, EGB haddock, and GB yellowtail flounder are now available
The Transboundary Management Guidance Committee (TMGC) will meet in September to review these reports and recommend quotas for FY 2012. The TRAC results suggest the combined US and Canada quotas for all three stocks will probably decline in FY 2012. While not yet published, the US share for each of the three stocks in FY 2012 is likely to be: EGB haddock – 43% (same as 2011), EGB cod – 24% (up from 19% in 2011), GB yellowtail flounder – 49% (down from 55% in 2011); these were the values reported at the TRAC meeting in June and changes are not expected when the reference document is published.
