Description:The primary objectives of this report are to: 1) update estimated fishing mortality of groundfish species in U.S. West Coast fisheries in 2002 to 2018, 2) provide mortality estimates for 2019, and 3) compare the 2019 estimates to annual catch limits (ACLs), acceptable biological catch (ABC), and overfishing limit (OFL) harvest specifications. These management specifications are published in the federal groundfish regulations for selected groundfish species (USOFR 2001, 2015). Based on a recommendation from the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (PFMC) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC), we present groundfish mortality estimates by species, whenever possible (USOFR 2018).
