In the last stock assessment, conducted in March 2021, data related to bottom trawl catches and demersal fish diet were presented for the first time. This year's stock assessment actually integrates new sets of data into its analysis. That is set to begin on April 20.
The officials here with me today can of course provide more detail on the history of the science in this fishery and the importance of this year's data from next week's assessment, because it does bring in some new streams of information to try to make the analysis as accurate and effective as possible.
