Description:The 2020 assessment for Atlantic sea scallops is an enhanced review (Level 3) update of the 2018 benchmark assessment, as recommended by the Assessment Oversight Panel (AOP), because of a new approach to modeling selectivity in reference points. The 2020 assessment focused on the two models used to determine stock status: CASA and SYM. The forward projection model, SAMS, was not reviewed as part of this assessment The Peer Review Panel was asked to review the mechanics and assumptions behind the Atlantic sea scallop assessment procedure, which employs the CASA model, in preparation for conducting 1) the stock assessment, 2) providing reference point estimates and 3) evaluating stock status. The responses to the Terms of Reference given below focusses on this element of the review. The last Benchmark review occurred in 2018 (SARC 65) at which time the stock was considered not overfished and overfishing was not occurring.
