Description:The northern shortfin squid (Illex illecebrosus) is a data-poor species that supports a productive commercial fishery that was valued at over $24 million in 2020. Due to the species’ complex life history and dearth of data, the fishery is managed using a static quota rather than biological reference points. Given the economic importance of this species, the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council’s Shortfin Squid Working Group and Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s (NEFSC) Shortfin Squid Research Track Stock Assessment Working Group recommended enhanced data collection to enable quantitative assessment and management of this species. In response, the NEFSC’s Cooperative Research Branch (CRB) initiated the Shortfin Squid Electronic Size Monitoring Pilot Project (ILXSM) in 2021. The goals of the project were to 1) develop and pilot electronic technology to enable shortfin squid processors to sample individual squid size and weight throughout the fishing season, and 2) produce a standardized data stream to better understand the shortfin squid fishery and population structure.
