Description:

"In 2015, the Council developed a framework action to reduce the ACL from 1,780,000 lbs ww to the SSC's ABC recommendation of 1,720,000 lbs ww, from 2015 through 2018. These new catch levels were implemented in a final rule that was effective on January 4, 2016. However, the most recent ABC recommendation from the SSC exceeds the current overfishing limit (OFL) established in the 2016 framework actions and requires modification to end overfishing and rebuild the stock. In 2016, the greater amberjack stock assessment update to SEDAR 33 was completed and reviewed by the SSC at its March 2017 meeting. The SSC accepted the greater amberjack update assessment as the best scientific information available and concluded that greater amberjack was still overfished and undergoing overfishing (Table 1.1.1), and the stock would not be rebuilt by 2019 as previously projected. The SSC provided new annual (OFLs) (Table 1.1.2) and ABCs (Table 1.1.3) for a period of three years, beginning in 2018, equivalent to yield at 75% of the MFMT, based on the results of the update assessment. The results also indicated that Gulf greater amberjack had been overfished in all years since 1987 and has been undergoing overfishing since 1985. These results are generally consistent with the SEDAR 33 benchmark assessment. However, the update assessment produced lower estimates of spawning stock biomass and higher estimates of fishing mortality in the most recent years"--Page 2.
