| Summary: | The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories (MSLABS) has conducted standardized bottom longline surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and U.S. South Atlantic Ocean since 1995. In addition to the annual survey, in 2011, the Congressional Supplemental Sampling Program (CSSP) was conducted, where high levels of standardized bottom longline survey effort were maintained from April through October. Data from the MSLABS Bottom Longline Survey and the CSSP Survey has been used during previous assessments of red grouper (Epinephelus morio). This paper provides a new abundance index through 2017 for red grouper for the upcoming assessment. ... |
