• Description:
  This benchmark assessment reports the status of quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) in U.S. waters off the California coast using data through 2024. Quillback rockfish off the coast of California is defined as a stock by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC). This assessment does not account for quillback rockfish in Oregon waters or other areas off the U.S. West Coast and assumes that these other stocks do not contribute to nor take from the stock being assessed here. There is a potential for regional management of quillback rockfish within California provided additional research on stock structure.
