«Northern Cod is the most abundant and most valuable groundfish stock in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. There are over 40 other groundfish stocks in Canada's Atlantic fishery. Cod, turbot, redfish (or ocean perch), haddock, pollock and flounder are the main species and they all have the same characteristic: they feed near the bottom in the more shallow waters of the submerged plateaus or "banks" of our Continental Shelf.»
