The export of salt cod to Europe, and later to the West Indies, in the infamous "golden triangle" trade of cod, rum, and slaves, provided hard currency for the developing nation (Jensen, 1972).

This assessment concluded that Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine cod, haddock, and yellowtail flounder stocks were at or near record low levels of spawning biomass and that cod and yellowtail flounder fishing mortality levels were far in excess of fishing mortality levels needed to rebuild the stocks (NEFSC, 1994a, 1995; O'Brien and Brown, 1995).
