'Some stocks were listed under different units in 1992 Unit groupings correspond to OLO '99 



•'Some stocks were not listed in both reports For comparability, these RAY totals exclude the following red crab. Unit 4, 1999, butterfisfi. Unit 

 10, 1992, Pacific herring. Unit 14. 1999. Atka mackerel.'unit 19 (Gulf of Alaska!. 1999 



'92 and OLO '99 were rock snlc in the Eastern Bering Sea (a 285,000 t increase) and Pacific 

 cod in the Cuilf of Alaska (a 321,000 r decrease). In some cases, changes in estimates of 

 LTPY coincide with changes in status classification. An example is windowpane flounder 

 in the Northeast Region, for which an initial I.IPY value of 5,000 t for OLO '92 and OLO 

 '93 was provisional, based on historical landings. In OLO '95, LTPY was estimated to be 

 much lower (2,100 t), and at the same time the stock status classification changed trom 

 near LTPY to below LTPY
