Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019This document details the current 2018 Reference Case Operating Model which is to be proposed to be used for simulation testing of a new OMP for South Coast rock lobster.Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Oct 2018The assessments for the two hypotheses (reduced catchability and a one-off additional mortality event) for the recent reduced Desert Diamond catch rate are updated to take one further year’s data into account. The 2017 CPUE somewhat increased ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2018The 2017 assessment of the resource is updated given two further years of catch-at-length data now available. Recruitment is estimated to have increased over the last two seasons compared to the previous three seasons when recruitment was ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019The 2017 assessment of the resource for South Coast rock lobster is updated given the two further years of catch-at-length data and one further year of CPUE data now available. Recruitment is estimated to have decreased over the last two ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Nov 2018A new set of 2018 assessments for all five super-areas for the west coast rock lobster resource has recently been completed. These provide the bases for projecting the resource forwards (in each super-area) under alternative future catches ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Aug 2018This Addendum provides further results for the two-step TAC phase down option, where the distribution of the TAC amongst the Super-areas is changed. The shifts from A8+ are to either or both of A34 and A7. The Results are shown in the Tables ...Read more
Author:Butterworth, Doug S; Glazer, Jean; Johnston, Susan; van Zyl, DanielDate:Aug 2018During the 2017/18 fishing season, some catches made in Area 3+4 by trapboats were landed in Area 5+6 as hoopnet catches. This document reports the methodology used and the results obtained from an attempt to correct the catches reported for ...Read more
Author:Brandão, Anabela; Butterworth, Doug; Johnston, SusanDate:2020An Age-Structured Production Model is applied to assess the Alfonsino (Beryx splendens) resource in the West and East SIOFA areas of the Southern Indian Ocean. Data limitations restrict these applications to deterministic variants, which ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019Projected TAC outputs for OMP-2014 at that time are compared to those that subsequently eventuated.
A minor variant of OMP-2014 is applied to the adjusted base case SCRL operating model for a number
of values for the central parameter CPUE_targ.Read more
Author:Johnston, SusanDate:Apr 2016At the end of 2015, following indications in the recent biomass survey CAL data, provided by the September 2015 survey, that there may be a reduction in the 50-65mm size classes, concern was raised that this could be a “post-OLIVA” effect ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019Initial applications of alternative approaches to forward projection of the rock lobster
abundance in super-area A8+, based on suggestions made at the 2018 international workshop
(IWS), are presented.Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019This document introduces a new approach for estimating historical recruitment, and
consequently projecting future recruitment, for west coast rock lobster, which takes
account of the recommendations of International Panel at the 2018 stock ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Nov 2018Coarse estimates are provided of relative inshore (<30m depth) and offshore (30m+ depth) biomasses for each of the five super-areas using two methods – one being based on rough estimates provided by van Zyl of the hoop/trap catchability ratio, ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019The 2018 assessments and projections for the five super-areas for the west coast rock lobster resource are updated to 2019, using basically the same approach as in 2018. The update takes account of a further year’s catch and resource monitoring ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:Aug 2018This document provides results requested at the WCRL SWG meeting on Friday 24 August. First negative log-likelihoods are provided for the base case and two sensitivity poaching scenario assessment model fits. Then results are provided for a ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2019Results are reported for three further CMPs for the south coast rock lobster. Simulations now take the 2017 catches and CPUE values into account.Read more
