Description:

Bycatch remains an important issue in the recovery of Atlantic sturgeon populations throughout their range (ASMFC 1998). This issue is also given highest priority by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Proactive Program for Atlantic sturgeon restoration. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) requires jurisdictional reporting of Atlantic sturgeon bycatch, but the quality of available data varies. Further, in New England and Mid-Atlantic coastal waters, regions where the NMFS Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Sea Sampling (Observer) Program data is available, recent analyses have resulted in substantially differing estimates of bycatch and related incidental mortality (i.e., Stein et ah 2004; Chris Hager, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, pers. comm.). As a principal recommendation from the 2006 ASMFC Atlantic Sturgeon Bycatch Workshop, the Sturgeon Technical Committee (TC) has recommended a focused assessment of the NEFSC Observer Database, which principally covers fisheries in New England and the Middle Atlantic state waters. Workshop Goals: 1. Estimate Atlantic sturgeon bycatch rates and numbers caught by fishery, state, and season for the period 2001-2006 using data from the NEFSC observer database. Develop an interpolation model based upon recent fishing behaviors that allows estimation of bycatch among fisheries, regions, and seasons. 2. From the NEFSC Observer Database, estimate bycatch mortality rates by fishery, state, season, and fishing behavior (e.g., soak time).
