Description:The Atlantic and Gulf Menhaden stocks (Brevoortia tyrannus and Brevoortia patronus) support the second largest fishery by weight in the US and serve a critical ecological role as forage (Hartman & Brandt, 1995; NOAA Fisheries, 2016; Sagarese et al., 2016). Stock assessment and management of these important stocks have experienced thorough scrutiny from multiple perspectives (Hilborn et al., 2017; Pikitch et al., 2012). Therefore, we feel compelled to comment on Turner's (2017) paper titled “Smaller size-at-age menhaden with coastal warming and fishing intensity.” Our comment is based on three issues: misstatements regarding the stocks’ assessment and management, inappropriate analyses, and limited acknowledgment of alternative hypotheses for the putative patterns.
