Just noting the addition of aged fish from prior seasons hitting during survey season. A reminder for all of us when we estimate the production age comps in the fall: the age-length key may change from the hindcast, along with the influence of the new compositional data. If something seems wonky the best thing to investigate first is to compare the difference in the age-length key with and without the addition of the new ages.
