Mike,
I received the following from one of the SBCBA Board members(paraphrased):
"On behalf of MassDMF, Steve Cadrin is in the process of preparing the paper associated with that study that will be over a year until it will be pier reviewed and published. I actually discussed the results of that study with Steve Cadrin and Doug K. yesterday. The RAP is aware of the study this was brought up the most recent RAP meeting. I plan on referring to that data (13-25% dead discards) next week at the RAP and I am sure others will do the same. My understanding is that NMFS is aware of this study but it is yet to be pier reviewed and published."
Looks like it still needs peer review and publishing but the results will be covered....
