    Results of trials to evaluate the interim allowance strategy for West Greenland humpback whales
    (2017) Punt, André E; Brandão, Anabela
    The framework developed during the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Scientific Committee to evaluate an ‘interim allowance’ strategy is applied to West Greenland humpback whales based on the agreed Strike Limit Algorithm for these whales. The values for the ‘mandatory’ performance statistics for the ‘phase-out’ and ‘interim allowance’ strategy suggest that adopting the ‘interim allowance’ strategy has no substantial impact on risk, but leads to a better ability satisfy need and to lower interannual variation in strike limits.

    Towards the selection of a final set of trials for the 2012 ENP gray whale implementation review
    (International Whaling Commission, 2012) Brandon, John R; Scordino, Jonathan; Butterworth, Doug S; Donovan, Greg P; Punt, André E
    At the March 2012 Intersessional meeting of the AWMP Working Group in La Jolla,CA, a set of trials was agreed upon for consideration as part of the Eastern Pacific Gray Whale Implementation Review. Since then, progress has been made on conditioning that set of trials. An assessment of the preliminary conditioning results is presented here, with a focus on five trials that were not able to mimic the available data as well as the remaining trials. If any of these five trials is to be dropped from further consideration, there must be unanimous agreement within the Working Group for such.
