NOTES TO TABLE IV 



* Provisional estimates that assume rebuilding and 

 conservation of stocks. 



** Derived from average 1978 U.S. ex-vessel prices in 

 Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 

 and Connecticut. 



1/ Entitlements for herring apply only to the adult 



fishery, and do not include the juvenile fishery which 

 takes place within three nautical miles of the coast 

 of the United States and Canada. The potential annual 

 average harvest level shown is the midpoint between 

 the possible range (90-104,000 MT) identified in the 

 Pelagic Subcommittee Report (78/5) of the Canadian 

 Atlantic Fisheries Scientific Assessment Committee as 

 the 1979-86 estimated range. 



2/ Entitlements for cod in Area 4X apply only to cod 



located offshore in the portion of Area 4X south and 

 east of straight lines connecting coordinates 44°20' 

 north latitude, 63°20' west longitude; then 43°00' 

 north latitude, 65°40' west longitude; then 43°00' 

 north latitude, 67°40' west longitude. It is assumed 

 that Canada's catch from this stock in 1977 was its 

 ICNAF quota allocation of 3,600 tons. (Canada's 

 catch from the entire Area 4X cod stock in both inshore 

 and offshore areas was reported as 22,100 metric tons 

 valued at about U.S. $11 million on the basis of 1977 

 U.S. average ex-vessel prices.) 



3^/ The United States share of the allowable catch from 

 this stock is 10 percent of any amount that may be 

 harvested by Canadian vessels based outside the Gulf 

 of St. Lawrence; Canada currently reserves the harvest 

 entirely for vessels based in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 



4^/ For redfish in Area 3-0, the U.S. entitlement would be 

 600 tons annually; the Canadian entitlement would be 

 the remainder of the allowable catch, i.e., 100 percent 

 less 600 tons. 



5^/ No assessment is available of the potential long term 



annual average harvest of "other groundfish," as defined 

 in the Agreement, from Areas 3 and 4. Various approxi- 

 mations based on historic catch levels could be used.
