Case Study - Dover Sole

• Range from Baja California to the Bering Sea.• On mud or muddy-sand, at 35 to 1400 m depths.• Feed on polychaete worms, shrimp, brittle stars, and

small bivalves.• Winter spawning (December to February).• Planktonic larval stage lasts at least one year.• Gradual movement to deeper waters with growth.

Dover Sole - Assessment Data

• Landings - 1910 to 2004

• Fishery length compositions - 1966 to 2004

• Fishery age compositions - 1981 to 2004

• Trawl logbook CPUE - 1978 to 1995

• Shelf survey biomass - 1980 to 2004

• Slope survey biomass - 1992 to 2004

• Survey length compositions

• Observer Program discards - 2002 & 2003

FW599 Winter 2008

Dover Sole - Assessment Model Structure

• Two fisheries - South (CA+S.OR) & North.

• Separate slope surveys - AFSC (1992 to 2001) and NWFSC (1998 to 2004).

• Fixed size-retention functions - Early (to 1980); Late (1986 to 2004); and Transition. The fisheries now retain smaller fish.

• Fixed maturity-at-size functions - Early (to 1954); Late (1985 to 2004); and Transition. Maturation now occurs at smaller sizes.

• Natural mortality fixed at 0.09/yr.FW599 Winter 2008

Dover Sole - Model Structure (continued)

• Growth parameters estimated, but fixed relative variation (CV) in length-at-age.

• Three periods for fishery selection L50s: Early (to 1979); Middle (to 1995); and Late.

• Recruitment deviations from 1930.

• Beverton & Holt stock-recruit curve with fixed steepness (0.8) and variability (0.35).

• Reduced lambdas on length-at-age (0.1) and age composition (0.2) data.
