Fishing pressure has been reduced substantially for Gulf of Maine haddock, South Atlantic red porgy, and Gulf of Mexico gag grouper, and these species are no longer subject to overfishing.
The objective of the present study was to determine if there was any evidence that the behavior-related (as opposed to gear-or fishery-related) size or sex selectivity reported for gag and scamp also occurred in fishery-independent hook-and-line catches of the similarly protogynous, co-occurring red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) (Sparidae).
Stock assessments of red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) have shown a declining population and have led to a number of management measures, including a moratorium on fishing this species.
