Description

The most recent management regulations promulgated by the atlanticstates marine fisheries commission asmfc for striped bass and weakfish among others haverelied on a group of models called dynamic pool models and agestructured analysis ASA thatrequire information on fish population age structure. Most recently scientists on the US westcoast have introduced even newer statistical models stock synthesis that have begun to be usedon the east coast. These models provide the necessary information to develop stock assessmentreference points or proxies to maintain healthy stocks for future generations. However thesemodels work well only when they are based on reliable data which include accurate and preciseestimates of age. Virginia marine resources commission vmrc age and growth laboratory wasestablished at old dominion university ODU in 1998 by the cooperation between vmrc and oduand was relocated to vmrc in 2019. The age and growth laboratory has been providing reliableestimates of agebased catches for more than two decades. The development of these facilitieshas resulted in virginia s increased participation and leadership in workshops that establish themetrics used to determine catch and effort limitations.
