The purpose of the workshop was to compare methods in sectioning and reading otoliths from red drum and Atlantic croaker to establish common age interpretation methods coast wide.
Fisheries Science
Sustainable fisheries management depends on sound, timely scientific advice. The Fisheries Science Program delivers this through a rigorous, peer-reviewed stock assessment process, utilizing a mix of fishery-independent surveys and fishery-dependent monitoring, complemented by research from coastal state, federal, and academic institutions. The program also focuses on developing innovative scientific methods and enhancing state stock assessment capabilities, while coordinating and expanding collaborative research and data collection efforts.

Relative to the biological reference points proposed by the working group in the 2005 SARC, the bluefish stock is not overfished and overfishing is not occurring (½BMSY =73,526 MT; FMSY = 0.19). This conclusion is based on a 2007 biomass estimate of 153,843 MT and F=0.15 from the ASAP model results.
