Abstract
The same seasonal variations in the landed quality of trawler-caught Atlantic cod and haddock observed in 1956/57 have been found to occur during similar observations made in 1959.The poorest quality, at the time of landing, were the fish caught in the summer and in November and early December. The better quality fish were landed during late winter, spring, and early fall.These results were confirmed by independent observations made on trawler-caught fish at another Nova Scotian fishing port.
