This document provides a detailed overview of the operational assessment conducted during the Assessment Oversight Panel meeting held on July 21, 2014. It outlines the data inputs spanning from 1970 to 2013, including commercial and recreational landings, ages, and surveys like NMFS spring and fall bottom trawl. Key issues related to data reliability, including catch estimates and discard rates, are discussed. The assessment approach utilizes ASAP v3.0.17, combining various selectivity patterns and modeling methods to provide insights into fishery management.

2014 Pollock Operational AssessmentOverview Assessment Oversight Panel Meeting July 21, 2014
Data Inputs • First year: 1970 • Last year: 2013 • SARC 50 assessment used data through 2009 • First age: 1 • Last age: 9+ • Number of fleets: 2 • Commercial and recreational • Number of surveys: 2 • NMFS spring and fall bottom trawl surveys
Data Inputs (continued) • Commercial landings • Numbers at age • Total weight • Commercial discards • Numbers at age • Total weight • Recreational landings • Numbers at age • Total weight • Recreational discards • Numbers at age • Total weight • NMFS spring bottom trawl survey • Total index values • Age-specific index values • NMFS fall bottom trawl survey • Total index values • Age-specific index values • Mean weight at age • Start of year • Mid-year • Natural mortality (not updated) • Maturity (not updated)
Data Issues • MRIP recreational catch estimates used for 2004-2013 and1981-2003 MRFSS estimates converted to MRIP equivalents • In SARC 50, 2001-2008 fall commercial discard ALKs only included commercial data (i.e., no fall survey data) • Reestimated 2001-2008 commercial discards at age • Problems reproducing method used to obtain recreational discard CVs from SARC 50 • Currently using 1981-2009 average CV for 2010-2013
Assessment Approach • Assessment model: ASAP v3.0.17 • Dome-shaped survey selectivity patterns • Commercial fleet selectivity time blocks: 4 • Recreational fleet selectivity time blocks: 3 • Sensitivity run with flat-topped survey selectivity patterns • Projection model: AgePro v4.2.2 • F40% • 75% of F40% • Status quo
Assessment Approach (continued) • Alternative approach: AIM (An Index Method)
