Description:

The research described here primarily addresses the SEDAR 74 Gulf of Mexico red snapper review workshop term of reference #3, to “consider how uncertainties in the assessment, and their potential consequences, are addressed, and comment on the likely relationship of this variability with possible ecosystem or climate factors and possible mechanisms for encompassing this into management reference points.” This working paper builds off of the previous working paper submitted for the SEDAR 74 data workshop, SEDAR 74-DW-16 (Gervasi et al. 2022), and presents additional research findings and discussion. Conceptual models of the red snapper fishery were created for each stock assessment area (western, central, and eastern Gulf of Mexico) based on the local ecological knowledge of fisheries stakeholders. Our goal was to use the conceptual models to identify important ecosystem and socioeconomic drivers and linkages related to sources of uncertainty in the SEDAR 74 stock synthesis model and highlight significant shifts in fleet or fishing behavior that may need to be accounted for within the assessment framework.
