SEDAR 107 ASMFC Cobia

Project Description

SEDAR 107 began as SEDAR 95 which was a benchmark stock assessment for Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) Cobia. The SEDAR 95 assessment was delayed due to the lead SEFSC analyst leaving the Agency. A new analyst was identified for SEDAR 95 to resume the assessment in 2026; however, because of the time lapse between the pause and resumption of the assessment, the change in analytic teams and extension of the terminal year, this assessment has been assigned a new SEDAR number – SEDAR 107. SEDAR 107 will assess the Atlantic Migratory Cobia stock. The ASMFC will be coordinating the data and assessment workshops for this assessment and SEDAR will be coordinating the review workshop.
