Description:

The survey increased 15% from 2016 to 2017 and is now just below the long-term average. The assessment model estimate of 3+ total biomass for 2018 is 417,300 t and the projected female spawning biomass for 2018 is 191,460 t, a value that is well-above B40%. The recommended ABC for 2018 is 34,590 t based on an F40% = 0.124 harvest level, a 4% decrease from 2016. The 2018 overfishing level of 41,170 t is based on a F35% (0.149) harvest level. The stock is projected to be slowly declining.
