Assessment Review
• Internal Review• External Peer Review
![Page 4: Stock Assessment for Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) Striped Bass Stocks Marine Fisheries Commission Business Meeting February 11, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551a1f33550346862c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Available Data• Fishery-independent
– NCWRC Spawning Grounds Surveys• Catch rates• Scales (Tar River)
– NCDMF Program 915• Catch rates
![Page 5: Stock Assessment for Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) Striped Bass Stocks Marine Fisheries Commission Business Meeting February 11, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551a1f33550346862c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Available Data
• Fishery-dependent– Trip ticket program (landings)– Creel survey– Biological samples not used (too few
samples)
![Page 6: Stock Assessment for Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) Striped Bass Stocks Marine Fisheries Commission Business Meeting February 11, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551a1f33550346862c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Data Limitations• The input data limitations for these
analyses are twofold: – Limitations inherent in the surveys
collecting the data• Examples: Lack of defined spawning areas,
use of multispecies survey
– Analytical limitations resulting from data that are not complete or that were not collected• Examples: Incomplete age data by system, lack
of system specific life history parameters

Methods
• Despite data limitations, multiple methods were applied to attempt to determine stock status– Trend analysis– Catch curves
• Ultimately, none of the methods were able to determine stock status reliably
![Page 8: Stock Assessment for Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) Striped Bass Stocks Marine Fisheries Commission Business Meeting February 11, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551a1f33550346862c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Trend Analysis• Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE)
– NCWRC Spawning Grounds Survey: number of striped bass collected per hour of sampling effort
– NCDMF Program 915: number of striped bass collected per 160 sets in a year (12 hr net set of 240 yds)
• Examined CPUE by age (cohort) over time

Catch Curves• Used to estimate mortality from catch or
survey age data• Total mortality (Z) is the sum of fishing
(F) and natural (M) mortality
Z = F + M

Size Distribution
• Changes in length and age distribution can be indicative of stock trends– Expanding distribution rebuilding– Truncated distribution declining

Conclusions• Total mortality (Z) estimates vary
without trend providing little information for stock status determination
• Length distributions provide no substantial evidence of a viable stock
• The size and age distributions, low abundance, and the absence of older fish support continued management efforts to promote enhancement of the striped bass fisheries in each system
![Page 27: Stock Assessment for Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) Striped Bass Stocks Marine Fisheries Commission Business Meeting February 11, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/551a1f33550346862c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Research Recommendations• Since the 2004 FMP, significant efforts
were made to fill CSMA data gaps, but critical data are still needed– Life history parameters– Additional fishery-dependent data– Improved fishery-independent data
• Above data necessary to perform a reliable, quantitative assessment – Funding and staff needed to collect needed
data
