 | | 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). |
 | | Prior to the early 1900s, most cod were captured by handlining from schooners or longlining from small dories that delivered their catch to larger schooners at the end of the day. |
 | | 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). |
