November 2005 survey sardine spawner biomass: 962 289 tonnes (November 2004 = 2 607 064 tonnes). 2. November 2005 survey anchovy spawner biomass: 3 062 710 tonnes (November 2004 = 2 035 827 tonnes). 3. Directed sardine TAC for 2005: 382 119 tonnes. 4. Anchovy normal season TAC for 2005: 215 000 tonnes1 Using the above data, the initial 2006 TACs and TAB are calculated by the Rerevised OMP-04 (Cunningham and Butterworth 2005a) to be: Directed sardine TAC: 204 000 tonnes (eqn (A.1, A.2)) Initial normal season anchovy TAC: 212 251 tonnes (eqn (A.3, A.4)) Initial normal season sardine TAB: 32 711 tonnes (eqn (A.6)
