The product of the Assessment Webinar
Process is a report which compiles and
evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses;
and describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are

The items of discussion in the
Assessment Process webinars are as
follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the Data Workshop, panelists will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population
benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
2. Panelists will recommend the most
appropriate methods and configurations
for determining stock status and
estimating population parameters.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
