Proposal for Periodic Re-Consideration of Biomass
Reference Points for Rebuilding Stocks
• Monitor the pace of rebuilding relative to stock production
• Examine population Dynamics parameters for signs of
 density dependence or species interaction, especially:
• length/weight at age
• condition factor (weight per length)
• maturity at age
• stomach contents
• relative abundance
• recruitment
• spawning biomass
• environmental conditions
• geographic distributions
Revise if density dependence or interactions dictate!
