Description:This report presents the benchmark stock assessment of BMUS deep-slope finfish species currently managed under the BMUS complex (Table 7-1). The BMUS are composed of six deep snappers (Aphareus rutilans, Etelis carbunculus, E. coruscans, Pristipomoides filamentosus, P. flavipinnis, and P. zonatus), two shallower snappers (Aprion virescens and Lutjanus kasmira), one emperor (Lethrinus rubrioperculatus), one jack (Caranx lugubris), and one grouper (Variola louti). All 11 species are wide-ranging Indo-Pacific tropical coastal species found generally between East Africa and Tahiti, including Hawaii (except for L. rubrioperculatus, P. flavipinnis, and V. louti). The black jack C. lugubris is the only circumtropical species. These species typically inhabit deep-slope areas from 100 m to 400 m, with A. virescens, C. lugubris, L. kasmira, L. rubrioperculatus, and V. louti habitat extending to shallow areas (< 10 m depth).
