SEDAR 69 Atlantic Menhaden Ecological Reference Points Stock Assessment Report Assessment Report

In addition to the single-species menhaden stock assessment report, an Ecosystem Reference Points (ERP) stock assessment report was developed by the ASMFC Ecosystem Reference Points Work Group, and reviewed by the SEDAR 69 Panel. The ASMFC facilitated several webinars and meetings of the Work Group, coinciding with the Menhaden SAS meetings, to develop the ERP Assessment. The ERP report describes ecosystem monitoring and modeling approaches, and provides reference points designed to address multispecies interactions for a subset of stocks managed by the ASMFC, including management of menhaden for forage services in a broader ecosystem management context.
