Ames, Edward P.. Cod and Haddock Spawning Grounds in the Gulf of Maine. Island Institute. 1998.  33 pp.

This report presents the results of oral histories among retired fishermen in the State of Maine and New Hampshire. It talks about spawning areas and former spawning areas for cod and haddock that were identified in coastal waters extending from Grand Manan Channel to Ipswich Bay. The characteristics of these areas and a review of factors relating to the demise of these coastal stocks are included in this document. This resource first provides an overview titled ‘Restoring Cod and Haddock to the Gulf of Maine’ and then proceeds to present the results of the spawning area surveys. Geographic locations are split according into the following sections: Grand Manan Channel to Monhegan, Monhegan to Ipswich Bay, and totals, Grand Manan Channel to Ipswich Bay. There is also a discussion section, and appendices showing the spawning ground charts and listing of Cod and Haddock spawning grounds.
