This issue of the Bulletin is set out with four parts: Part I contains summaries of catches of selected
finfish and invertebrate species by country and subarea for 1975-89; Part II contains the statistics of
nominal catches and fishing effort for 1989; Part Ill contains the seal catches and hunting effort for 1989;
and Part IV contains additional statistics to previous issues of the Bulletin. In tables where various groups
of species are used, they are in accordance with those listed in the "Definitions and Abbreviations". Further
details of the tabular presentation of data are given in the text at the beginning of each Part .
The Secretariat is pleased to acknowledge the efforts of countries through their statistical agencies
in maintaining records of their fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic and contributing the data for publication
in the Bulletin. In addition, the guidance of the Scientific Council and the Coordinating Working Party on
Atlantic Fishery Statistics has been invaluable .
The delayed publication of this issue was due to the very late receipt of some final statistics.
