Agenda
[RTID 0648–XE725]
A Scientific and Statistical Committee
(SSC) Subpanel will review work led by
researchers at the University of Maine,
in collaboration with the Maine
Department of Marine Resources and
the Northeast Fisheries Science Center
to evaluate methods for estimating
discards of Atlantic cod from the lobster
fishery for integration into the Eastern
Gulf of Maine (EGOM) Atlantic cod
stock assessment. In this review, the
subpanel will consider: (1) the methods
for quantifying a time series of Atlantic
cod discards from the lobster fishery, (2)
any modifications of the methods that
would be required to incorporate the
discard time series into total catch
accounting that informs the EGOM cod
stock assessment, and (3) any
recommendations for improvement of
these estimates in the future. This
technical review follows the Council’s
Research Review Policy, consistent with
National Standard 2 Guidelines.
Other business will be discussed, as
necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data/
Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series
of webinars. The product of the Data/
Assessment Workshop 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. Participants for
SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the
Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast
Regional Office, HMS Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and NGO’s;
International experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and State and
Federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Data
Workshop are as follows:
An assessment data set and associated
documentation will be developed
during the workshop. Participants will
evaluate proposed data and select
appropriate sources for providing
information on life history
characteristics, catch statistics, discard
estimates, length and age composition,
and fishery dependent and fishery
independent measures of stock
abundance.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
