methodology: A time series of spawning stock biomass (mt) of female lobsters in the Southern New England stock is provided in Table 6.3.4.1 of American Lobster Benchmark Stock Assessment and Peer Review Report (2015).  Methods for deriving this time series are explained in the stock assessment report.
