Proceedings of the third meeting of the Transboundary Resources Assessment Committee (TRAC), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, April 26-28, 2000 Proceedings of the 3rd meeting of the Transboundary Resources Assessment Committee (TRAC), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, April 26-28, 2000

The third Transboundary Resources Assessment Committee (TRAC) meeting was held in Woods Hole, MA, USA during 26-28 April 2000 and provided a forum for joint Canada/USA peer review of assessments for Georges Bank cod, haddock and yellowtail flounder resources. For Canada, these discussions produced Stock Status Reports for use in management for the 2000 fishing year. For the USA, the meeting produced advisory reports, which will be considered for developing harvest advice for the 2001 fishing year. Technical issues related to the assessments were also raised, including alternate assessment approaches, bias correction, and the need for joint work on stock assessment methodology. Recommendations were made to improve future assessments. Steve Clark and Wayne Stobo "July 2000." System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.
