Description:"This assessment of the summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) stock along the Atlantic coast (Maine to North Carolina) is an update through 2002/2003 of commercial and recreational fishery catch data, research survey indices of abundance, and the analyses of the data. For 2002, commercial and recreational fishery quotas were 6,612 mt and 4,408 mt, respectively, for a total of 11,020 mt. The reported commercial landings used in this assessment for 2002 were 6,407 mt, while estimated recreational landings were 3,610 mt, for a 2002 landings total of 10,017 mt. An analytical assessment (virtual population analysis, VPA) of commercial and recreational total catch at age (landings plus discards) was conducted. Indices of recruitment and stock abundance were developed from Northeast Fisheries Science Center winter, spring and autumn, Massachusetts spring and autumn, Rhode Island annual, Connecticut spring and autumn, New Jersey annual, and Delaware annual trawl survey data. Recruitment indices were also developed from young-of-year surveys conducted by the states of North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland"--Summary.
