Southern New England Yellowtail flouder (Limanda ferruginea) stock is managed by the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC). This resource is managed  by United States authorities as four separate stocks (southern New England, Georges Bank, Cape Cod, Middle Atlantic Bight) under the Multispecies Fishery Management Plan of the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC 1993). Intermingling among the relatively distinct stocks has not been confirmed, and the species occurs as well inside the Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and the NAFO Regulatory Area (NRA) beyond Canada’s 200 mile limit.
