By 'those stocks', he means commercial cod fishery stocks.

Read it in context:

'Minister Reid is also encouraged as he sees this announcement
as a small but positive step toward addressing the problem of
seal predation on groundfish stocks. The majority of groundfish
stocks off the province�s coasts have not recovered to
pre-moratorium levels, and it is speculated that the federal
government will this year once again close some cod fisheries
which were reopened in the late 1990's.

"There is no doubt that seal predation on groundfish is impeding
the recovery of those stocks," added Minister Reid. ..'
