Abstract
Updated Bayesian stock assessment results for humpback breeding sub-stock B1, which take into account recently advised capture-recapture data, are presented. These suggest this population presently to be within the range of 65-90% of its pre-exploitation size in terms of posterior median estimates. However, alternative options for inputs to this assessment are possible, and need to be discussed by the Scientific Committee.
