Assessment of the arrowtooth flounder stock in the Eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

The scheduled frequency for some stock assessments was recently changed in response to the National Stock Assessment Prioritization effort (Methot 2015; Hollowed et al. 2016). In previous years, all Bering Sea and Aleutian Island (BSAI) flatfish stocks were assessed on a biennial stock assessment schedule to coincide with the availability of new survey data. There was no change in this schedule for the Arrowtooth flounder stock. For this off-cycle (odd) year, we present a partial assessment consisting of an executive summary with recent fishery catch and survey trends as well as recommend harvest levels for the next two years. In on-cycle (even) years, we will present a full stock assessment document with updated assessment and projection model results to recommend harvest levels for the next two years. Please refer to last year’s full stock assessment and fishery evaluation (SAFE) report for further information regarding the stock assessment (Shotwell et al., 2020, available online at (https://appsafsc.fisheries.noaa.gov/refm/docs/2020/BSAIatf.pdf).
