Fishery profile for review

Mackerel in the NW Atlantic have been managed as a single transboundary stock distributed from Labrador to North Carolina but two (a northern and a southern) spawning components (TRAC, 2010) have been identified and it is uncertain whether they should be considered as a single stock.
