A Report Of The 26th Northeast Regional Stock Assessment Workshop PDF Download

"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.
