    Risk-related aspects of the west coast rock lobster and of the joint sardine and anchovy OMPs to be developed this year
    (2007) Johnston, Susan J; Cunningham, Carryn L; Plagányi, Éva E; Butterworth, Doug S
    In 2006, the west coast rock lobster scientific working group moved from assessing the resource as a single stock, to assessing the stock at a spatially disaggregated “super-area” level, to take better account of different resource monitoring trends in different areas which indicated area-specific dynamics. The resource was divided into five super-areas by combining the existing eights areas (A1 to A8): A1-2, A3-4, A5-6, A7 and A8. Stock assessment updates at the super-area level have now been completed, and work is underway in developing a new OMP for the resource which inputs data on an area-disaggregated basis. This OMP is scheduled for finalisation early during the second half of this year.
