the stock assessment model.
The specific objectives of the workshop are to:
-
Discuss the data used in the canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish and arrowtooth flounder stock assessments including details on collections methods, current observed trends, and how the data will be incorporated into the assessment models;
-
discuss the rationale for making assumptions in the models, especially when data are missing or insufficient;
-
identify anomalies in the data and provide possible explanations; and
-
identify data gaps and future research possibilities.
All participants are encouraged to pre-register for the workshop by contacting Ms. Stacey Miller, Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) by phone at (206)437–5670 or by email at
