Table 20. Number of vessels and
percent annual landings by individual species for Study Fleet vessels, New
England (NE) fishing fleet and NE groundfish fleet (directed groundfish trips
and all trips) based on 2004 dealer weighout reports from NE (Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island) ports. The groundfish fleet includes
all vessels with ≥ 1 groundfish trips in 2004. Groundfish trips are any
trip where the cumulative sum of groundfish landings exceeded all other species
(> 50%). Groundfish are defined as any of the 12 large mesh species covered
by the Multispecies Fisheries Management Plan: Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), pollock (Pollachius virens), white hake (Urophycis tenuis), Acadian redfish (Sebastes fasciatus), ocean pout (Zoarces americanus), yellowtail flounder
(Limanda ferruginea), winter flounder
(Pseudopleuronectes americanus),
witch flounder (Glyptocephalus
cynoglossus), windowpane flounder (Scophthalmus
