Analysis of stock assessment is critical to achieving sustainability in the west coast groundfish fishery. Historically, shortcomings in the data (only landed catch monitored, only triennial surveys that do not cover all species, etc.) results in much uncertainty and associated controversy in assessments. The "unknown" status of the majority of the species leaves a significant possibility that many species are overfished. Therefore, improving assessment models remains a high priority. |
