Stock Assessment of the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep7 Bottomfish Complex Through 2010 (open access)

Stock Assessment of the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep7 Bottomfish Complex Through 2010

From abstract: A stock assessment of the main Hawaiian Islands "Deep7" bottomfish complex was conducted through fishing year 2010, including projections to determine total allowable commercial catches (TACs) and their probabilities of overfishing. This assessment was conducted using re-audited bottomfish catch and effort data from commercial catch reports for the years 1948-2010.
