Stock assessment of rock sole and English sole in Hecate Strait for 2000/2001 / J. Fargo … [et al.].: Fs70-1/2000-166E-PDF

In this document, biological information is summarized and the results of catch-age analysis for stocks of rock sole and English sole in Hecate Strait are presented. A state space catch-age model is used to reconstruct stock history for both species. The results of the catch-age analysis are compared to those obtained using swept-area expansions of commercial and research survey catch rate data. Yield recommendations are estimated by applying target fishing mortality reference points to the most current estimates of biomass. This information is synthesized to provide advice to managers on harvest levels for the 2001/2002 fishing year.
