Haddock catch may be reduced

Last fall's plankton bloom failed to develop in New England's prime fish breeding and feeding ground of Georges Bank, which could reduce the amount of haddock there.

A report from the Northeast Fisheries Science Center said the Georges Bank fall blooms have failed about one year in three for the past decade, but there is no clear reason for the failure. The total number of fish caught in the area could be affected in two years.
