Other assessments

Vermilion Rockfish

In 2005, vermilion rockfish was assessed for the first time. However there were significant concerns about the reliability of the assessment. Given these concerns, the SSC did not endorse the results as being suitable for setting OYs and the Council did not accept the assessment for use in management. The stock assessment and STAR Panel report are available here for reference; however they are not included in the SAFE.

• Vermilion Rockfish STAR Panel Meeting Report

Yelloweye Rockfish

A yelloweye rockfish stock assessment and rebuilding analysis were completed in 2005. However, in November 2005 the Council requested a new yelloweye assessment be done over the winter when numerous assessment data issues became known. At the March 2006 meeting, the Council adopted the new assessment and rebuilding analysis as the best available science, superceding the 2005 documents. The 2005 documents are available here for reference; however they are not included in the SAFE.

• Rebuilding Analysis for Yelloweye Rockfish for 2005 (coming soon)
