Description:Recent stock assessments indicate snowy grouper, golden tilefish, vermilion snapper, and black sea bass are experiencing overfishing (NMFS 2005b). Snowy grouper, black sea bass, and red porgy are overfished (NMFS 2005b). While we do not know the status of all snapper grouper species, it is a safe presumption based on the data we do have that the size, age, and genetic structure of many snapper grouper species has been altered by fishing pressure. Amendment 13C included management measures that end overfishing of snowy grouper, golden tilefish, vermilion snapper, and black sea bass. Amendment 15 will specify rebuilding plans for snowy grouper, black sea bass, and red porgy.
