Stanley and Kronlund: Life history characteristics for Sebastes brevispmis 



683 



Finally, we note how a meta-data analysis such as 

 that provided by Haldorson and Love (1991) can provide 

 values for stock assessment parameters in the absence 

 of direct estimation. By summarizing the basic life 

 history characteristics for silvergray rockfish in B.C. 

 waters, we add to the research on rockfish and improve 

 the basis for effective management of at least one more 

 minor, but potentially fishery-limiting, species in the 

 eastern Pacific groundfish complex. 



Acknowledgments 



This summary of the biology of silvergray rockfish was 

 much improved through discussions with four com- 

 mercial trawl fishermen, Capt.'s Risk Benham, Brian 

 Dickens, Ron Gorman, and Reg Richards. We also appre- 

 ciated the derivation of temperature at depth provided by 

 Roy Hourston and the help with the graphics from Norm 

 Olsen. The document was much improved by review 

 comments from Bruce Leaman and three anonymous 

 reviewers.
