Precision and relevance of pre-recruit studies for fiskery management related to fish stocks in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters. Proceedings of the sixth IMR-PINRO Symposium Bergen, 14-17 June 1994.The predation by North-East Arctic cod on pre-recruits of cod and haddock is reviewed based on data from the joint PINRO-IMR stomach content data base. It is investigated how the abundance indices from surveys of pre-recruits are correlated with the occurence in cod stomachs of pre-recruits of these species. Estimates of the consumption of cod and haddock by cod based on a new model for the stomach evacuation rate of cod are also given
