Parameters and potential biological reference points developed for Beverton-Holt spawner-recruit model of red porgy off southeast- 

 ern United States. Estimates are based on calibrated VPA by using selectivity for most recent time period (1992-96). and based 

 on primary catch matrix (fishery-independent keys; includes separate run with missing value for zeroes in hook-and-line index) or 

 alternate catch matrix (fishery-dependent keys).
