Determination of Overfishing or an
Overfished Condition
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This action serves as a notice
that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary), has found that
the following stocks are subject to
overfishing or overfished. Gulf of
Mexico gray snapper is now subject to
overfishing. Thorny skate is still
overfished. NMFS, on behalf of the
Secretary, notifies the appropriate
regional fishery management council
(Council) whenever it determines that
overfishing is occurring, a stock is in an
overfished condition or a stock is
approaching an overfished condition.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Regina Spallone, (301) 427–8568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to section 304(e)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), NMFS, on
behalf of the Secretary, must notify
Councils, and publish in the Federal
Register, whenever it determines that a
stock or stock complex is subject to
overfishing, overfished, or approaching
an overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that the Gulf of
Mexico stock of gray snapper is now
subject to overfishing. The most recent
benchmark assessment for this stock
was finalized in 2018, using data
through 2015. The assessment supports
a determination that the stock is subject
to overfishing because the current

estimate of fishing mortality (F2013–2015),
0.138, is greater than the maximum
fishing mortality threshold (MFMT),
0.115. NMFS has informed the Gulf of
Mexico Fishery Management Council
(Gulf Council) that it must prepare and
implement a plan amendment or
proposed regulations to end overfishing
immediately and prevent overfishing
from occurring in the fishery. The Gulf
Council has already started working on
a fishery management plan amendment
to address the results of this stock
assessment.
NMFS has determined that thorny
skate is still overfished. A stock status
update was completed for this stock in
2018, using data through 2017. The
update supports a determination that
the stock remains overfished because
the three-year average biomass index
(B2015–2017), 0.285kg/tow, is below the
biomass threshold, 2.06 kg/tow. Thorny
skate is currently in year 15 of a 25-year
rebuilding plan that was implemented
in 2003. NMFS continues to work with
the New England Fishery Management
Council to rebuild this stock.
