Abstract
Few data are currently available for the SC cobia fisheries and these limited data should not be the basis of any major management decisions. However, the existing data do not indicate any problems with the stock. The recent growth in the cobia charter fishery in Beaufort county coupled with an increased CPUE shown by these vessels could be viewed as indicator of growth in the population similar to that observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Subsequently, no biological evidence exists to warrant altering the current regulations restricting the harvest of cobia in South Carolina.
