Description:An assessment of the status of the Atlantic stock of red drum is conducted using recreational and commercial data from 1986 through 1994. This assessment updates data and analyses from the 1989, 1991 and 1992 stock assessments on Atlantic coast red drum (Vaughan and Helser 1990; Vaughan 1992, 1993). Since 1980, coastwide recreational catches ranged between 694,400 pounds in 1980 and 2,623,900 pounds in 1984, while commercial landings ranged between 131,500 pounds in 1991 and 439,900 pounds in 1980. In numbers of fish caught, Atlantic red drum constitute predominantly a recreational fishery (generally 78 to 93% in recent years). Commercially, red drum continue to be harvested as part of mixed species fisheries.
