Apply the benchmark assessments to report on the status of the stocks, updating results for the latest information from fisheries, including discard estimates and research surveys, and characterize the uncertainty of estimates. Depending upon the outcome of the GB Yellowtail Flounder empirical approach benchmark, results from the empirical method will either be considered alone as a basis for catch advice or considered along with the current virtual population analysis (VPA from 2005 benchmark) modeling results and relevant VPA sensitivity runs as have been conducted in the past. Describe any adjustments to benchmark assessment models applied during the TRAC including impacts on advice given to TMGC. Evaluate and quantify, if possible, scientific uncertainty of the assessment output (stock status determination and catch projection), discussing current practices of characterization and alternative methods of evaluation. Provide sensitivity analyses to account for retrospective bias on stock biomass and fishing mortality estimates for Cod, Haddock, and Yellowtail Flounder, if appropriate. For a range of total catch values in 2015, estimate the risk that the 2015 fishing mortalit
