At the March 2014 Small Pelagic Scientific Working Group (SPSWG) meeting it was agreed that the
most appropriate way-forward in terms of management of the sardine and anchovy pelagic fishery would
be to finalise an Operational Management Procedure (OMP) as soon as possible, based on an extension
to Interim OMP-13v3, with guidelines for some spatial disaggregation of directed sardine catch. This
document considers alternative predictors of past splits of the directed sardine catch west and east of
Cape Agulhas and proposes a way forward to develop a rule that could be used to advise on the split west
and east of Cape Agulhas of the directed sardine TAC under OMP-14.
