• Catch - By weight or by number of individuals (species specific)
• Abundance - By weight or by number of individuals (species specific)
• Index - An index of abundance (shrimp only)
• Recruitment - By weight or by number of individuals (species specific)
• Fishing mortality

Summary statistics for these assessments are also available (FMSY, BMSY, Ftarget etc) in addition to metadata (Stock Name, Stock Area, Jurisdiction, Point of contact, Year of assessment etc)

The data are extracted and processed from NOAA’s Stock SMART web based data portal.
