Table 17. Summary of Northeast Region fishery observer data to estimate summer flounder discard at age in the commercial fishery. Estimates developed using fishery observer length samples, age-length data, and estimates of total discard in mt. An 80% discard mortality rate is assumed. 1994-2004 lengths converted to age using 1994-2004 NEFSC trawl survey age-length keys; n/a = not available.
