Abstract
Following the recent 2007 spawner biomass survey, the initial 2008 TACs for South African sardine and anchovy and initial sardine TAB are to be recommended. The following data have been used: 1) November 2007 survey sardine 1+ biomass: 260 685 tonnes. 2) November 2007 survey anchovy spawner biomass: 2 507 501 tonnes. 3) Directed sardine TAC for 2006: 162 436 tonnes. 4) Directed anchovy normal season TAC for 2006: 386 942 tonnes1 . Using the above data, the initial 2008 TACs and TAB recommendations are calculated by OMP-08 to be: Directed sardine TAC: 90 776 tonnes Initial normal season anchovy TAC: 247 500 tonnes Initial normal season sardine TAB: 28 565.9 tonnes The equations used to calculate these TAC/Bs are given in the appendix.
