There is a new issue in the Northeast Fisheries Science Center Reference Document series: 2013 Report on the Economic Performance of the Northeast Multispecies (Groundfish) (May 2013-April 2014) by Tammy Murphy, Andrew Kitts, Chad Demarest, and John Walden.

2013 Final Report on the Performance of the Northeast Multispecies (Groundfish) Fishery (May 2013 – April 2014)
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center has issued an annual report on the economic performance of the fishery since 2010. The results provide indicators of vessel performance, employment, financial viability, and fleet diversity. Unlike the 2010-2013 reports, this year's uses constant dollars (nominal dollars adjusted for inflation using 2010 as the base year) for information reported in dollars so that figures may be better compared over time. Nominal and constant amounts are reported for FY2013, aggregate revenues. The report does not make projections for future fishery performance or characterize the likely conditions for the next fishing year.
