65069 Document Published / External 58886 SEDAR 71 South Atlantic Gag Grouper Project The Committee was asked to review the Gag assessment prepared through SEDAR 71 and provide fishing level recommendations. Gag was last assessed during the 2014 Update to SEDAR 10, where the stock was found to be not overfished nor undergoing overfishing. However, overfishing had been occurring since 1980 and had just dipped below FMSY in the terminal year. The SSB had been below MSST for the previous 5 years of the assessment but had risen above MSST in the last 2 years of the assessment.
