An update assessment is a single workshop that utilizes the assessment models and input parameters from the previous full SEDAR assessment, with minor modifications if any, and updated data streams to update the results of the previous full assessment. The SEDAR 10 gag assessment was completed in 2006, and was subsequently re-evaluated in May 2007 with corrections to recreational bycatch estimates. The assessment concluded that, as of 2004 (the final year of available catch data), the gag stock was not overfished, but it was undergoing overfishing. The SEDAR 12 red grouper assessment was completed in 2007. Using catch data through 2005, the assessment concluded that the stock had recovered from an overfished condition in the mid–1990s, and that as of 2005, the stock was not undergoing overfishing and stock biomass was slightly above its optimum yield (OY) target level.
