Abstract
The commercial yellowtail flounder (Limanda ferruginea) fishery on the Grand Bank is comprised of fish age 4–12 with the main contribution from 6–8-yr-olds. Comparison of Grand Bank yellowtail with those reported for the Scotian Shelf indicates similar growth curves. The New England stocks are significantly larger at comparable age probably because of higher water temperatures.Keywords
