Catch Length Composition of Bottomfish Management Unit Species of Guam, 1982–2023
February 10, 2025
A review of data to be used in the upcoming benchmark stock assessments of Guam Bottomfish Management Unit Species.
This technical memo provides two types of length composition information from two different sources for the Guam Bottomfish Management Unit Species: (1) recent length data from the Commercial Fisheries Biosampling Program that indicate present-day length composition; and (2) time-series length observations from the Guam Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources boat-based creel survey that capture changes in length composition over time.
The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) of NOAA Fisheries uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-PIFSC series to distribute scientific and technical information that has been scientifically reviewed and edited. Documents within this series reflect sound professional work and may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature.
