CORRECTION September 7, 2011: The first edition of this report, released in July 2011, had some incorrect values in the Georges Bank winter flounder chapter. The report was corrected in September 2011. The corrections did not change the stock status conclusions (i.e., not overfished and overfishing is not occurring). Corrections were made to the estimates of SSBMSY, 1/2SSBMSY, and MSY. This required revising the statement about rebuilding in the Projection section, the last Special Comment, and two Figures (B1, B5) which show biomass reference points. The reference points needed to be corrected because they were based on an incorrect alpha value from an early run of a stock-recruit model made by the SAW Working Group. The corrected report uses a revised alpha value that is consistent with final modeling decisions made during the peer review meeting by the SARC-52 review panel.

CORRECTION July 29, 2011: The caption for Figure A5 in the Southern New England Winter Flounder section was corrected to read "recruitment is in thousands of age-1 fish." The caption incorrectly read "recruitment is in millions of age-1 fish." This change did not affect any conclusions about stock status.
