Description:

Gray triggerfish are managed under the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Reef Fish FMP). This framework action would modify the acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACL) and annual catch targets (ACT) for the gray triggerfish stock consistent with recommendations from the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council’s (Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC).

In September 2020, the Council’s SSC reviewed an interim analysis for gray triggerfish (NOAA 2020). The proposed modifications to the gray triggerfish ABC, ACLs, and ACTs are based on results of that interim analysis and subsequent recommendations from the Council’s SSC. The SSC determined the interim analysis suitable for providing interim catch advice through 2023. The gray triggerfish stock is not considered overfished or experiencing overfishing, but is still rebuilding (GMFMC 2017a and 2017b). Gulf gray triggerfish was considered overfished based on the results of SEDAR 43 (2015), which was finalized in 2015, using data through 2013 and a minimum stock size threshold (MSST) defined as (1-M)*B30% SPR. Reef Fish Amendment 44 to the Reef Fish FMP changed the MSST for gray triggerfish to 0.50*BMSY (or proxy), which resulted in a change in the stock status to not overfished but rebuilding. Amendment 46 to the Reef Fish FMP implemented a rebuilding plan based on the SSC’s review of SEDAR 43,1 and specified management measures in response to the results of that stock assessment.
