Stock Assessment Update of the Bottomfish Management Unit Species of Guam, 2024
June 25, 2024
Updated stock assessment catch projections provide similar conclusions to the previous benchmark stock assessment.
The stock assessment described in this document was conducted as an update stock assessment; therefore, all components of the assessment analyses (selection of datasets, data filtering, catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) standardization, stock assessment model, and model fitting) were identical to the 2019 benchmark stock assessment.
The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service uses the NOAA Stock Assessment Report series to disseminate 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.
