Applications of bottom‐trawl survey data to fish stock assessment are reviewed. Techniques developed at the Northeast Fisheries Center (NEFC) of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to estimate recruitment, total biomass, fishing mortality, and other parameters based on bottom‐trawl survey data are presented and evaluated, using examples from past and current assessments.
