Juvenile abundance indices (JAis) are frequently a critical component of interstate fisheries management programs. Such indices can provide a measure of annual recruitment success, a predictor of potential fishery yields, and a trigger for either relaxing or restricting fisheries. A workshop was convened on January 20-21, 1992 to address the development and use of JAis and to provide guidance for future work. This report provides a summary of the key findings and recommendations of the workshop participants.
