Descripción
The eighth session of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery
Commission (WECAFC) was held in Merida, Mexico, on 3–4 November 2017. The Gulf and Caribbean
Fisheries Institute (GCFI) hosted the session at the venue of its seventieth annual conference. The SAG
discussed the outcomes of the work carried out by various joint working groups in 2016–2017 and their
Recommendations to WECAFC 17. The SAG reviewed the status of the main fish stocks in Area 31
and discussed the impact of the increase in Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) fisheries on the current
stock assessment methods used. The SAG further got updated on the functioning of the Interim
Coordination Mechanism for Sustainable Fisheries, the WECAFC-FIRMS partnership and the activities
of partner agencies in the region. A list of specific SAG Recommendations for the attention of
WECAFC 17 is included in the preface of the report.
