TL;DR: Commercial recaptures of 26% (22.5% in years after the tagging year) of 18,822 Atlantic cod that were tagged mainly in the feeding season at 13 localities in the Newfoundland area in 1954–55 elucidated migrations and intermingling of cod of various stocks or stock complexes.
Abstract: Commercial recaptures of 26% (22.5% in years after the tagging year) of 18,822 Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 50 cm or more in length that were tagged mainly in the feeding season at 13 localities in the Newfoundland area in 1954–55 elucidated migrations and intermingling of cod of various stocks or stock complexes. Cod of the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence stock migrated southward from the Strait of Belle Isle to winter on the northern side of Cabot Strait and vicinity, mingling there with the Burgeo Bank stock. Cod of the Newfoundland–Labrador complex tagged at three sites mingled along the east coast of Newfoundland and off southern Labrador and with cod of the northern Gulf stock near the Strait of Belle Isle, of the Avalon–Burin stock complex off the Avalon peninsula, and of a Grand Bank stock on the northern part of the bank. Though cod tagged off the Avalon peninsula and on St. Pierre Bank were recaptured mainly near the tagging sites, some moved as far north as Labrador, to the southern Grand Bank, an...
