Black oreo ages from mark identification trawls in acoustic surveys were used to estimate the fraction of mature fish in the shallow area that is largely unfished compared to that in the fished area for the management area OEO 3A, and to compare these to that predicted in the stock assessment model. If onset of maturity is triggered by age, then the model is optimistic for mature fish in the unfished area. Deficiencies in the model were revealed because it relied on lengths as a proxy for age.
