摘要
We analyzed 47 yr(1946-92) of research trawl data and 5 yr(1964-68) of research gillnet data to identify spawning locations of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, in the Newfoundland-Labrador region. Offshore, spawners are common on the continental shelf but generally rare on the slope. Relative abundance of spawning individuals on the shelf is comparably high off northeast Newfoundland, within 100 km of the Newfoundland coast from Cape Freels to Cape Race, on central Crand Bank, and on St. Pierre Bank. Slope spawning is largely restricted to the eastern slope of Hamilton Bank, a small section of northern Grand Bank, and Flemish Cap. Inshore spawning is evident in southeastern Labrador and southeastern Newfoundland, particularly in St. Mary's, Placentia, Trinity, and Bonavista bays. Trajectories of satellite-tracked drifter buoys indicate that it is highly improbable that eggs spawned on the slope of Grand Bank and much of the northeastern Newfoundland slope will be transported into shelf and coastal waters. We conclude that cod spawn in areas in which their eggs and larvae are likely to be retained and that inshore spawning populations may provide a considerably larger contribution to cod recruitment in coastal Newfoundland than has previously been believed.
