Abstract
The telephone survey for the 2015 season indicates a recreational catch appreciably greater than expected under the past relationship estimated between recreational take and season length. This relationship is revised given the new data. If the recreational allocation is to remain the same for the 2016 as the 2015 season, then either or both of a reduction in the length of the current recreational season or a limitation on the number of recreational permits sold will need to be imposed.
