Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua
Image
Nina Shepherd (NS) has been working with Atlantic Cod since 2003. Baked and sectioned otoliths are viewed with reflected light.
In tests where agreement is below 90%, bias indicates either the P-value of a symmetry test or ‘n/s’ (test not significant at the α = 0.05 level). The Evans & Hoenig test was used to test bias starting 1/2022; prior to that, a Bowker's test was used. Stock indicates whether samples were from Georges Bank (GB) or the Gulf of Maine (GOM); if no stock area is specified, samples were from both areas combined. All samples were collected by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center except where indicated otherwise.
