Description

It seems weird to me that we use spawning stock biomass but do not add the "stock" modifier to any other term, e.g., we use age 3+ biomass not age 3+ stock biomass. Should we advocate for spawning biomass instead of spawning stock biomass?

Research direction

Read the issue and its five-comment thread first to understand the unresolved terminology question around “spawning stock biomass,” “spawning biomass,” and “age 3+ biomass.” Done would require an agreed naming decision and corresponding updates to the dictionary, but no target files or concrete change are identified here.
