S. Atlantic Recreational Landings Homepage :: Southeast Regional Office

• Atlantic Spadefish appears odd when Wave 3 is compared to the other Waves. I wonder if this is a MRIP issue, especially when commercial landings are so low, and that ACL is so small.
• Snowy grouper and Golden tilefish are way over.
• Black grouper landings appear very large compared to Gag, Red and Scamp groupers.
•  The Red snapper results will not be available until the middle of December 2012 I was told.
• It appears that Blue runners, Dolphin, Yellowtail snapper and several other SG species will have plenty of ACL left at the end of the year.
