Abstract
The data to which the South African anchovy assessment is tuned are not raw data. Some of the data have already been subject to a number of analyses and refinements. These associated calculations are often done “behind the scenes” and their details are seldom recorded. This lack of record can result in a discontinuity in the method used to calculate data for subsequent assessments, particularly if assumptions made in the calculations are not documented and/or a new person becomes responsible for developing the data to be used for input to the assessment. This document serves as a first step to record the generation from the raw data of the data to be used in the anchovy assessment to be carried out this year, and will at a later stage be updated similarly for the sardine assessment and any further data used in the development and testing of the pelagic OMP.
