"The purpose of the Workshop was to present the assessment results and management advice on goosefish, sea scallops, and bluefish, peer reviewed by the Stock Assessment Review Committee at its November 18-22, 1996 meeting, to managers, fisheries representatives, and the public"--Introduction.
"The 57th SAW Assessment Summary Report contains summary and detailed technical information on two stock assessments reviewed during July 23-26, 2013 at the Stock Assessment Workshop (SAW) by the 57th Stock Assessment Review Committee (SARC-57): summer flounder (Paralichthys dentata) and striped bass (Morone saxatilis). The SARC-57 consisted of 3 external, independent reviewers appointed by the Center for Independent Experts [CIE], and an external SARC chairman from the MAFMC SSC. The SARC evaluated whether each Term of Reference (listed in the Appendix) was completed successfully based on whether the work provided a scientifically credible basis for developing fishery management advice. The reviewers' reports for SAW/SARC-57 are available at website: http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/nefsc/saw/ under the heading 'SARC 57 Panelist Reports'"--Introduction.
The collapse of cod, flounder, and haddock fish stocks in the Northeast United States has caused widespread concern among managers and fishers in the United States and Canada. The diminishing stocks have forced managers to take strict regulatory measures. Numerous questions have been raised about the adequacy of stock assessment science used to evaluate the status of these stocks and the appropriateness of the management measures taken. Based on these concerns, Congress mandated that a scientific review of the methodology and data used to evaluate these stocks be conducted. In this volume, the committee concludes that although there are improvements to be made in data collection, modeling uncertainty, and communicating between fishers, managers, and scientists, the scientific methods used in the Northeast stock assessments are sound. Recommendations are made on how the stock assessment process can be improved.
"The 57th SARC was convened in Woods Hole at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, July 23-26, 2013 to review benchmark stock assessments of: summer flounder (Paralichthys dentata) and striped bass (Morone saxatilis). CIE reviews for SARC57 were based on detailed reports produced by NEFSC Assessment Working Groups. This Introduction contains a brief summary of the SARC comments, a list of SARC panelists, the meeting agenda, and a list of attendees (Tables 1-3). Maps of the Atlantic coast of the USA and Canada are also provided (Figures 1-5)"--Foreword.
"The purpose of the Workshop was to present the assessment results and management advice on Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Georges Bank haddock, Georges Bank yellowtail flounder, and Southern New England yellowtail flounder, peer reviewed by the Stock Assessment Review Committee at its May 19-23, 1997 meeting, to managers, fisheries representatives, and the public. Copies of the SAW-24 draft Advisory Report on Stock Status and draft Consensus Summary of Assessments had been distributed to members of each Council prior to the Workshop. Additional copies were available to the public at each session"--Introduction.
