1 About this document
This is a prototype of an automatic report that documents how the user specified the operating model and their various justifications.
2 Introduction
Describe the history and current status of the fishery, including fleets, sectors, vessel types and practices/gear by vessel type, landing ports, economics/markets, whether targeted/bycatch, other stocks caught in the fishery. Commercial landings are consistent throughout the year with a small peak in June, which coincides with the beginning of the spawning season. Average monthly landings during spawning months are generally greater than during non-spawning months. Recreational landings increase noticebly in May and remain high through September, which coincides with the entire spawning season. Average monthly landings are greater in spawning months than in non spawning months
Describe the stock’s ecosystem functions, dependencies, and habitat types.
