Stock assessment for the Outside population of Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) for British Columbia, Canada in 2014 / K. Lynne Yamanaka ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2018-001E-PDF

"A new stock assessment is presented for the Outside population of Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) in British Columbia, Canada for 2014. This assessment considers a single Outside stock based on genetic analyses. A non-equilibrium, age-aggregated Bayesian surplus production (BSP) model was used in this assessment, employing catch data derived from historic commercial, recreational and Aboriginal catch records reconstructed back to 1918, life history data to estimate the intrinsic rate of increase (r), and abundance trends derived from research surveys and commercial hook and line catch records. Sensitivity analyses considered six different sources of uncertainty: assumptions about the historic catch, priors for the intrinsic rate of increase and carrying capacity, the amount of process error standard deviation, the accuracy in different abundance indices, the form of the surplus production function, and the form of the stock assessment model"--Abstract, p. viii.
