Project Description
SEDAR 23 addresses stock assessments for South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico goliath grouper. The Data Workshop was held April 27-29, 2010 in St. Petersburg, FL, the Assessment workshop was held August 2-5, 2010 in St. Petersburg, FL and the Review workshop was held November 15-17,2010 in Key West, Florida.
NOTE: SEDAR Working papers document the methods, datasets, and preliminary analyses that are under consideration at the various workshops and therefore do not necessarily represent final consensus opinions of workshop participants. Working paper findings and methods may change following workshop review. Working papers should not be cited without author permission.
