^aSurvey = NEFSC winter, spring, or autumn bottom trawl survey; MDMF = MDMF inshore bottom trawl survey; and Fishery = U.S. commercial landings. ^bGB = Georges Bank; SNE = Southern New England; HUD = Hudson Canyon; NYB = New York Bight; NJ = New Jersey; DEL = Delaware Bay; VA = Virginia; and HAT = Cape Hatteras. ^cAdjusted ages were obtained during the exercise to determine precision levels. Two ages listed for the NCDMF indicate differences between age readers. ^dDisagreement reasons: A = choice of first annulus; B = choice of a scale event as a check as opposed to an annulus. ^eNot aged.
