Author:Mwicigi, Jean; Durholtz, Deon; Glazer, Jean; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Aug 2018The South African squid jig fishery is primarily managed using effort control. The management objective for the fishery is to cap effort at a level that secures the greatest catch, on average, in the longer term without exposing the resource ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Mar 2018A number of different production model approaches are considered for assessment of the Agulhas sole resource, Stationary models, either with observation error only estimation, or adding annual process error, exhibit systematic patterns in ...Read more

Author:Glazer, Jean; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Oct 2018Butterworth and Glazer (2014) reported results from the application of a simple form of the dynamic Schaefer model to account for a large drop in sole CPUE over the period 2009-2013. The two hypotheses considered were (i) the drop in CPUE was ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean; Butterworth, Doug S; Durholtz, DeonDate:2019The length of the additional closed season which would need to be applied to the squid jig commercial sector to keep effort within the TAE has been re-calculated taking into account that the TAE recommendation for the 2019/20 fishing season ...Read more
