• Description:
  The Northeast Region Coordinating Council (NRCC)1 has developed an enhanced stock assessment process to improve the quality of assessments. The process involves two tracks of assessment work: 1) a management track that includes routine updates of previously approved assessment methods to support regular management actions (e.g., annual catch limits), and 2) a research track that allows comprehensive research and development of improved assessments on a stock-by-stock or topical basis. The research track assessment process allows for a more thorough review of information available and for the evaluation of different assessment approaches than would be possible in a standard stock assessment process where the results are immediately used for management advice. This Panel reviewed the Research Track Assessment for the Atlantic Sea Scallop stock.
