Abstract
The suggestion made by Sauer (2008) that a Traffic Light-based management approach be considered for the South African squid resource is critically examined. Such an approach does not appear to have a defensible scientific basis (though this is not to exclude some desirable aspects of the approach, such as pre-specified decision rules, that are common to other management approaches). Suggestions are made for taking some of Sauer’s proposals forward in a modified way.
