Overview • Introduction summary table and PDT memo (does
not include all sources of uncertainty or all reviewer comments).
• Status table (short report 2nd table) • Biomass (mt) and exploitation plots (short report). • PDT catch performance plots for individual stocks. • OFL and ABC tables at 75%FMSY and lowest 75%FMSY
catch (2016-2018) held constant. • No FRebuild projections or OFLs estimates from
sensitivity runs (PDT can take new OFL requests).
3
Individual Stock Details: Catch Plots (Catch History, ABCs, Projections)
• CY 2005- CY 2014 total catch • Historical FY ABCs (ABCs on the books) • PDT CY2015 catch assumption • FMSY and 75%FMSY projected catch • Assessment overfishing history:
“Yes” , “No”, “unknown” whether overfishing was occurring in terminal year of assessment

UNCERTAINTIES

REVIEWER COMMENTS
The magnitude of the SSB retrospective pattern was less than but near the upper bound of the confidence interval and is a source of uncertainty. The previous assessment over estimated abundance of ages 2-5, which do not contribute much to the estimate of SSB. Therefore, previous projections were overly optimistic. 84
