16 JurisdictionStock Footnote CFMC Caribbean Grouper Unit 1 Caribbean Grouper Unit 1 is part of the Caribbean Reef Fish FMU and is composed of Nassau grouper. The fishery in the EEZ is closed. The fishery is now closed in the territorial waters of the USVI and Puerto Rico, therefore fishing mortality is very low. CFMC Caribbean Grouper Unit 2 Caribbean Grouper Unit 2 is part of the Caribbean Reef Fish FMU and is composed of Goliath grouper. Fishery in the EEZ and territorial waters of the USVI is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. CFMC Caribbean Grouper Unit 4 Caribbean Grouper Unit 4 is part of the Caribbean Reef Fish FMU and is composed of red, misty, tiger, yellowedge, and yellowfin grouper; yellowfin grouper is the indicator species for the unit.

CFMC Caribbean Snapper Unit 1 This stock complex consists of silk, black, vermilion, and blackfin snapper; and wenchman and was most recently assessed in 2009 (Caribbean Fisheries Data Evaluation, SEDAR Procedures 3 Workshop January 26-29 2009). This assessment, using best expert judgment, determined that this stock complex is subject to overfishing, but not overfished. A more recent assessment was finalized in 2012 that found silk snapper is not subject to overfishing. Since this assessment did not include the other stocks contained in the Snapper Unit 1 complex, nor does silk snapper serve as an indicator for the complex, the status of the complex remains unchanged.
CFMC Caribbean Snapper Unit 3 Caribbean Snapper Unit 3 is part of the Caribbean Reef Fish FMU and is composed of gray, lane, mutton, dog, schoolmaster, and mahogany snapper; at present, there are more data for mutton snapper than for the other species contained in this unit, but no indicator species has been identified. CFMC Caribbean Snapper Unit 4 Caribbean Snapper Unit 4 is part of the Caribbean Reef Fish FMU and is composed of yellowtail snapper. GMFMC Black grouper - Gulf of Mexico Black grouper is now managed as a single Gulf of Mexico/South Atlantic stock under both the Snapper-Grouper and Reef Fish of the Gulf of Mexico FMPs. Beginning in FY13, it will no longer be listed as 2 separate stocks, but as a single stock.
GMFMC Yellowedge grouper - Gulf of MexicoThe overfished status of this stock is based on the best scientific information available, as determined in the most recent stock assessment (August 2011). Currently, the criteria for determining the overfished status are not defined in the fishery management plan, but will be adopted and implemented in the FMP under the recomendation of the Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC). GMFMC Brown shrimp - Gulf of Mexico Overfishing determination is pre-SFA.

GMFMC Stone crabs (Menippe spp.) - Gulf of Mexico Effective November 11, 2011, stone crabs are no longer managed under a federal fishery management plan. The stone crab fishery takes place primarily in state waters off the coast of Florida, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is extending its management of the fishery into Federal waters. The status of this stock will continue to be reported until it is officially removed from the FSSI stock list in FY13.

HMS Atlantic Large Coastal Shark ComplexIn addition to Sandbar Shark, Gulf of Mexico Blacktip Shark, Atlantic Blacktip Shark, and Scalloped Hammerhead (which are assessed individually), the Large Coastal Shark Complex also consists of additional stocks including Spinner Shark, Silky Shark, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark, Lemon Shark, Nurse Shark, Great Hammerhead Shark, and Smooth Hammerhead Shark. In addition, several LCS species cannot be retained in commercial or recreational fisheries, including Bignose Shark, Galapagos Shark, Night Shark, Caribbean Reef Shark, Narrowtooth Shark, Sand Tiger Shark, Bigeye Sand Tiger Shark, Whale Shark, Basking Shark, White Shark.
HMS Atlantic Small Coastal Shark ComplexIn addition to Finetooth Shark, Atlantic Sharpnose Shark, Blacknose Shark, and Bonnethead Shark (which are assessed individually), the Small Coastal Shark Complex also consists of: Atlantic Angel Shark, Caribbean Sharpnose Shark, and Smalltail Shark; these 3 species cannot be retained in recreational or commercial fisheries. HMS Atlantic sharpnose shark - AtlanticThis stock is part of the Small Coastal Shark Complex, but is assessed separately.

HMS Bigeye tuna - Atlantic The 2010 stock assessment estimated the range of B/Bmsy=0.72-1.34, while the median estimate was 1.01. Due to the uncertainty in the 2010 bigeye assessment, the Agency has not declared this stock rebuilt. Rather, it is considered as rebuilding, and this determination also mirrors the language in the SCRS bigeye stock assessment report from 2010 that discusses the higher odds of rebuilding to levels that could produce MSY if there are lower catches. HMS Blacknose shark - Atlantic This stock is part of the Small Coastal Shark Complex, but is assessed separately.

HMS Blue marlin - Atlantic For the overfished North Atlantic blue and white marlins, Amendment One to the Atlantic Billfish FMP established a foundation to develop an international rebuilding plan. An international rebuilding plan with a two-phase approach was adopted in 2000 by ICCAT; Phase I was implemented on 6/1/2001, while the United States continues to work toward its full implementation. It should be noted that the ICCAT rebuilding program does not satisfy all the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. NMFS is continuing to work domestically to monitor its fisheries and promote conservation. The SCRS conducted assessments of blue and white marlin in 2006. HMS Blue shark - Atlantic This stock is part of the Pelagic Shark Complex, but is assessed separately. HMS Bonnethead - Atlantic This stock is part of the Small Coastal Shark Complex, but is assessed separately. HMS Dusky shark - Atlantic The first species-specific dusky shark assessment occurred in 2006 and indicates that dusky shark stocks have been depleted 62-80 percent with respect to virgin biomass. Assessment scientists recommend that the rebuilding timeframe for dusky sharks could last anywhere from 100 to 400 years. HMS Finetooth shark - Atlantic This stock is part of the Small Coastal Shark Complex, but is assessed separately.

HMS Porbeagle - Atlantic This stock is part of the Pelagic Shark Complex, but is assessed separately. According to the 2005 recovery assessment report conducted by Canada, the North Atlantic porbeagle stock has a 70 percent probability of recovery in approximately 100 years if F is less than or equal to 0.04. There is no U.S. domestic rebuilding plan in place for this species. A rebuilding plan will be implemented in an upcoming Amendment estimated to be finalized in 2008. Until this new Amendment is in place, porbeagle sharks will be managed according to the 1999 HMS FMP. A range of 0.15-0.32 is reported for the B/Bmsy estimate.

HMS Sailfish - Western Atlantic For overfished sailfish, Amendment One to the Atlantic Billfish FMP established the foundation to develop an international 10-year rebuilding program. While steps have been taken internationally to pursue recovery of the overfished west Atlantic sailfish stock, an international rebuilding program has not yet been adopted. NMFS is continuing to work through ICCAT to establish an international rebuilding program and is working domestically to monitor its fisheries and promote conservation. The B/Bmsy is estimated to be > 75%Bmsy. HMS Sandbar shark - Atlantic This stock is part of the Large Coastal Shark Complex, but is assessed separately. HMS Shortfin mako - Atlantic This stock is part of the Pelagic Shark Complex, but is assessed separately. A range of 0.48-3.77 is estimated for B/Bmsy.

HMS White marlin - Atlantic For the overfished North Atlantic blue and white marlins, Amendment One to the Atlantic Billfish FMP established a foundation to develop an international rebuilding plan. An international rebuilding plan with a two-phase approach was adopted in 2000 by ICCAT; Phase I was implemented on 6/1/2001, while the United States continues to work toward its full implementation. It should be noted that the ICCAT rebuilding program does not satisfy all the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. NMFS is continuing to work domestically to monitor its fisheries and promote conservation. The SCRS conducted assessments of blue and white marlin in 2006.
MAFMC Atlantic mackerel - Gulf of Maine / Cape Hatteras Although this stock is currently listed as not subject to overfishing and not overfished, the most recent stock assessment conducted for Atlantic mackerel (2010) could not determine the overfishing or overfished status. Stock status is based on the assessment conducted in 2005.

MAFMC Butterfish - Gulf of Maine / Cape Hatteras The overfished status of butterfish is unknown, based on the fact that the last assessment was unable to estimate stock size with reasonable confidence. In addition, the previous assessment conducted in 2004, was found to have significant problems in retrospect, such that stock size estimates are highly uncertain. In order to maintain a precautionary approach, this stock will remain in a rebuilding plan until it can be confirmed with reasonable confidence that stock size has reached an appropriate rebuilding target.

18 JurisdictionStock Footnote MAFMC Longfin inshore squid - Georges Bank / Cape Hatteras The most recent stock assessment conducted in 2011 found that the current fishing mortality reference points are inappropriate for assessing the overfishing status of longfin inshore squid. Thus, the previous assessment's overfishing determination has been invalidated and the overfishing status is unknown. MAFMC Northern shortfin squid - Northwestern Atlantic Coast Although Northern shortfin squid is currently listed as not subject to overfishing, the most recent stock assessment (2006) was not able to precisely determine current exploitation rates or stock biomass. Nevertheless, the overfishing status of this stock remains unchanged, based on the results of an earlier assessment (2005).

MAFMC Tilefish - Mid-Atlantic Coast Although the most recent B/Bmsy = 1.04, this stock has not been declared rebuilt. SARC 48 (2009) notes the following: The biomass estimates for recent years from the ASPIC model are likely over-optimistic because trends in commercial VTR CPUE declined recently in a manner consistent with the passage of the strong 1999 cohort through the population (an interpretation further supported by the length frequency data). The current assessment model (ASPIC) does not account for those factors. Much of the confidence interval around the 2008 biomass estimate falls below the updated BMSY listedabove. Based on these considerations there is no convincing evidence that the stock has rebuilt to levels above BTARGET. The rebuilt status will be reevaluated when the stock is assessed next.
NEFMC Atlantic herring - Northwestern Atlantic Coast Although this stock is currently listed as not subject to overfishing and not overfished, the most recent stock assessment conducted for Atlantic herring (2010) could not determine the overfishing or overfished status. Stock status is based on a stock assessment conducted in 2009 (TRAC).

NEFMC Red deepsea crab - Northwestern Atlantic In the most recent stock assessments (NEFSC 2006) the current MSY and BMSY estimates for red crabs were criticized and judged unreliable due to uncertainty about biological parameters and the model used to calculate MSY. New estimates were not developed due to lack of information about growth, longevity and trends in abundance (from the 2009 Data Poor Working Group Report).

NEFMC Acadian redfish - Gulf of Maine / Georges Bank Based on the current FMP GARM III (2008) reference points, the stock was considered not subject to overfishing and not overfished. Based on the 2012 Assessment/Updates new reference points for the stock were developed, and the stock remains not subject to overfishing, and not overfished. The stock biomass has now exceeded the level needed to attain rebuilt status. The final results of the 2012 Assessments/Updates are considered the best scientific information available for management of the multispecies stocks. Future FMP management actions will take into account the 2012 Assessments/Updates.

NEFMC Atlantic cod - Georges Bank Based on the current FMP GARM III (2008) reference points, the stock was considered subject to overfishing and overfished. Based on the March, 2012, Assessment or Data Updates of 13 Northeast Groundfish Stocks through 2010 (2012 Assessments/Updates) new reference points for the stock were developed, and the stock was determined to continue to be subject to overfishing and overfished. The final results of the 2012 Assessments/Updates are considered the best scientific information available for management of the multispecies stocks. Future FMP management actions will take into account the 2012 Assessments/Updates.

20 JurisdictionStock Footnote NPFMC Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands Arrowtooth Flounder Complex The Arrowtooth Flounder Complex consists of Arrowotooth flounder only. Beginning in 2010, Kamchatka flounder was separated into its own assessment, so the arrowtooth flounder assessment now represents arrowtooth flounder only, but management will continue to be based on the "arrowtooth flounder" assemblage. NPFMC Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands Blackspotted and Rougheye Rockfish Complex Blackspotted and Rougheye Rockfish consists of Blackspotted Rockfish and Rougheye Rockfish. An assessment of the combined species provides the overfished determination, and the OFL is based on the combined-species assessment.

NPFMC Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands Flathead Sole Complex Flathead Sole consists of Flathead Sole and Bering Flounder. Flathead Sole accounts for the overwhelming majority of the biomass and is regarded as the indicator species for the complex. The overfished determination is based on the combined abundance estimates for the two species; the overfishing determination is based on the OFL, which is computed from the combined abundance estimates for the two species.

NPFMC Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands Rock Sole Complex Rock Sole consists of Northern Rock Sole and Southern Rock Sole (NOTE: These are two distinct species, not two separate stocks of the same species). Northern Rock Sole accounts for the overwhelming majority of the biomass and is regarded as the indicator species for the complex. The overfished determination is based on the combined abundance estimates for the two species; the overfishing determination is based on the OFL, which is computed from the combined abundance estimates for the two species.

NPFMC Sablefish - Eastern Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands / Gulf of AlaskaAlthough Sablefish is managed separately in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Aleutian Islands, with separate overfishing levels, ABCs, and TACs based on the proportion of biomass in each respective region, separate assessments are not conducted for each of these three regions; the assessment is based on aggregated data from the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Aleutian Islands regions. Therefore, it is not appropriate to list separate status determinations for these three regions.

NPFMC Dusky rockfish - Gulf of Alaska Prior to 2011, dusky rockfrish was the indicator species for the "pelatic shelf rockfish" complex. Now, however, dusky rockfish is assessed as a single stock and the remaining two members of the former "pelagic shelf rockfish" assemblage (yellowtail and widow rockfish) have been combined with the former "other slope rockfish" assemblage to create a new "other rockfish" assemblage. Overfishing was not defined in 2010 for the dusky rockfish stock per se, but the former pelagic shelf rockfish complex was not subject to overfishing. NPFMC Gulf of Alaska Blackspotted and Rougheye Rockfish Complex Blackspotted and Rougheye Rockfish consists of Blackspotted Rockfish and Rougheye Rockfish. An assessment of the combined species provides the overfished determination, and the OFL is based on the combined-species assessment.

NPFMC Gulf of Alaska Deepwater Flatfish Complex The Deep Water Flatfish Complex consists of the following stocks: Deepsea Sole, Dover Sole, and Greenland Turbot. Prior to 2011, Dover sole was the indicator stock for the deep-water flatfish assemblage. However, the 2011 assessment contained a recommendation that the existing age-structured model be rejected., including using Dover sole as an indicator species. The deep-water flatfish complex therefore no longer has an indicator species and an overfished determination can no longer be made. The complex was not subject to overfishing in 2010.

NPFMC Gulf of Alaska Demersal Shelf Rockfish Complex The Demersal Shelf Rockfish Complex consists of the following stocks: Canary Rockfish, China Rockfish, Copper Rockfish, Quillback Rockfish, Rosethorn Rockfish, Tiger Rockfish, and Yelloweye Rockfish. The overfishing determination is based on the OFL, which is computed by using estimates of Yelloweye Rockfish and then increased by 10% to account for the remaining members of the complex. NPFMC Gulf of Alaska Thornyhead Rockfish Complex The Thornyhead Rockfish Complex consists of the following stocks: Longspine Thornyhead and Shortspine Thornyhead. The overfishing determination is based on the OFL, which is computed using abundance estimates of Shortspine Thornyhead.
PFMC Skipjack tuna - Eastern Tropical Pacific Even though this stock is shown to be under the jurisdiction of a single Council and under the management of a single FMP, it is acknowledged that both the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council have jurisdiction over this stock, and it is managed under both the West Coast Highly Migratory Species FMP and the Western Pacific Pelagics FMP. The Council indicated here is the lead Council for the purposes of this report.

PFMC Striped marlin - Eastern Tropical Pacific Even though this stock is shown to be under the jurisdiction of a single Council and under the management of a single FMP, it is acknowledged that both the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council have jurisdiction over this stock, and it is managed under both the West Coast Highly Migratory Species FMP and the Western Pacific Pelagics FMP. The Council indicated here is the lead Council for the purposes of this report. An assessment was conducted on the North Pacific striped marlin stock (ISC 2007, Report of 7th meeting of the ISC) and concluded that CPUE and other indicator trends have significantly declined from historical highs at the beginning of the fisheries to 2006. Although there is uncertainty associated with this assessment owing to data limitations, the results suggest that the stock in the North Pacific Ocean is experiencing intense exploitation. The responsible RFMO (IATTC and WCPFC) are scheduled to address this issue and provide justification for change in status. The previous status of not subject to overfishing and overfished will remain until/if the results of the ISC report are accepted.

PFMC / WPFMCAlbacore - North Pacific The status of Albacore - North Pacific is based on a suite of FMSY proxies (F40%, F30% and F0.1), two estimated levels of recent fishing pressure (F=0.43 and F=0.68), and two scenarios of productivity (low R and high R). The resulting ratios of F/FMSY range from 1.02 to 2.26. However, the PFMC has not adopted a proxy for FMSY and thus status is listed as "unknown." The ratios of B/BMSY range from 0.67 to 1.07 against an overfished criteria of < 0.7 (see Appendix 2 of this report, 2005 PFMC HMS SAFE document, PFMC HMS FMP and 19th NPALPW Report for details). PFMC / WPFMCSwordfish - North Pacific The status of Swordfish - North Pacific is based on the assessments of the Central Western Pacific and Eastern Tropical Pacific stocks of swordfish.

SAFMC Pink shrimp - Southern Atlantic CoastThe Shrimp Review Advisory Panel concluded that the apparent decline in pink shrimp abundance does not appear to be due to overfishing. Based on both the SEAMAP data, and the effort and landings data from the North Carolina and eastern Florida pink shrimp fishery, the Shrimp Review Panel recommended that no management actions are necessary at this time. The Shrimp Review Panel concludes that the pink shrimp stocks in some areas along the Southeast coast are depleted due to factors other than fishing such as environmental and climatic factors. Since shrimp are essentially an "annual crop", it would not be appropriate to develop a rebuilding plan for this stock. SAFMC Black grouper - Southern Atlantic Coast Black grouper is now managed as a single Gulf of Mexico/South Atlantic stock under both the Snapper-Grouper and Reef Fish of the Gulf of Mexico FMPs. Beginning in FY13, it will no longer be listed as 2 separate stocks, but as a single stock. SAFMC Red grouper - Southern Atlantic CoastThe South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) was notified by the Southeast Regional Office on June 9, 2010 that red grouper is overfished. The SAFMC has 2 years from this date to implement a rebuilding plan for red grouper. SAFMC Wreckfish - Southern Atlantic CoastAlthough the overfished determination is not known, landings are at extremely low levels and there are only two participants in the fishery. SAFMC / GMFMCLittle tunny - Gulf of Mexico This stock was removed from the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic FMP in 2011, but will continue to be listed as an FSSI stock until FY13. SAFMC / GMFMCSpanish mackerel - Southern Atlantic Coast The most recent Spanish mackerel assessment (2008) concluded the species was not subject to overfishing but overfished status was unknown. The most recent known determination of not overfished is based on the 2003 stock assessment. SAFMC / GMFMCGoliath grouper - Southern Atlantic Coast / Gulf of Mexico Fishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is approaching zero.

WPFMC Hancock Seamount Groundfish Complex Overfished determination is pre-SFA. This stock complex uses pelagic armorhead as the indicator species of a three-species seamount groundfish complex that includes raftfish and alfonsin. Post-SFA overfishing/overfished definitions were approved in 2003 for the seamount groundfish stock complex, for which pelagic armorhead is assessed as the indicator species, but determinations have not yet been made relative to those new definitions. This stock complex does not have a formal rebuilding plan or time period for rebuilding. The fishery in the U.S. EEZ has been closed under sequential 6-year moratoria since the inception of the FMP in 1986. Effective Dec 2010, fishing for bottomfish and seamount groundfish at the Hancock Seamounts is prohibited until the stock is rebuilt - these measures are considered as a de facto rebuilding plan. The area around the Hancock Seamounts is classified as an ecosystem management area.
WPFMC Hawaiian Archipelago Coral Reef Ecosystem Multi-species ComplexThis complex contains up to 146 "currently harvested coral reef taxa" and innumerable "potentially harvested coral reef taxa."

WPFMC Guam Bottomfish Multi-species Complex This complex contains up to 19 species including Seabass - hapuu'upu, Squirrelfish Snapper - ehu, Longtail Snapper - onaga, Silver Jaw Jobfish - lehi, Gray Jobfish - uku, Blueline Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper - yellow tail kalekale, Crimson jobfish - opakapaka, Yelloweye Snapper - yelloweye opakapaka, Von Siebolds Snapper - kalekale, Oblique-Banded Snapper - gindai, Giant Trevally - white ulua, Black Jack - black ulua, Thick Lipped Trevally - pig ulua, Amberjack - kahala, Blacktip Grouper, Lunartail Grouper, Ambon Emperor, and Redgill Emperor.

WPFMC Skipjack tuna - Central Western PacificEven though this stock is shown to be under the jurisdiction of a single Council and under the management of a single FMP, it is acknowledged that both the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council have jurisdiction over this stock, and it is managed under both the West Coast Highly Migratory Species FMP and the Western Pacific Pelagics FMP. The Council indicated here is the lead Council for the purposes of this report.

WPFMC Striped marlin - Central Western Pacific Even though this stock is shown to be under the jurisdiction of a single Council and under the management of a single FMP, it is acknowledged that both the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council have jurisdiction over this stock, and it is managed under both the West Coast Highly Migratory Species FMP and the Western Pacific Pelagics FMP. The Council indicated here is the lead Council for the purposes of this report. An assessment was conducted on the North Pacific striped marlin stock (ISC 2007, Report of 7th meeting of the ISC) and concluded that CPUE and other indicator trends have significantly declined from historical highs at the beginning of the fisheries to 2006. Although there is uncertainty associated with this assessment owing to data limitations, the results suggest that the stock in the North Pacific Ocean is experiencing intense exploitation.
WPFMC Yellowfin tuna - Central Western Pacific The yellowfin tuna resource is managed by both the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council. The PFMC manages the EPO stock under the West Coast Highly Migratory Species FMP and the WPFMC manages the WCPO stock under the Western Pacific Pelagics FMP.

PFMC Pink salmon - Puget Sound (odd-numbered years)The PFMC manages these fisheries consistent with provisions of the Pacific Salmon Treaty. These stocks originate from either U.S. or Canadian waters and are managed as mixed stock fisheries. SAFMC Black corals (Antipatharia) - Southern Atlantic CoastOverfishing determination is pre-SFA. Fishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. SAFMC Fire corals (Milleporidae) - Southern Atlantic CoastFishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. SAFMC Hydrocorals (Stylasteridae) - Southern Atlantic CoastFishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. SAFMC Soft corals (Octocorallia) - Southern Atlantic CoastFishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. SAFMC Stony corals (Scleractinia) - Southern Atlantic CoastFishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low. SAFMC Sargassum - Southern Atlantic Coast On July 11, 2003, NMFS partially approved the FMP for this stock. Although one of the disapproved provisions included the MFMT, a component of the overfishing definition, an examination of the rate of harvest (currently zero), relative to the approved MSY level (100,000 mt), indicates that overfishing is not occurring. In addition, no directed fishery for this stock currently exists. This species has the capacity to increase its biomass through vegetative growth by as much as 10 percent per day, thus doubling its biomass every two weeks. Therefore, it is unlikely that this stock is overfished. SAFMC Nassau grouper - Southern Atlantic Coast Fishery in the EEZ and state waters is closed; therefore, fishing mortality is very low.
