Abstract
The sardine spawner biomass observed in November 2005 indicated a decrease in sardine abundance from the record levels experienced over the preceding five years. Sardine recruitment was poor for 2004 and 2005, but the estimate from the most recent recruitment survey in May 2006 was closer to the long term average. In line with work carried out over the past two years (Cunningham and Butterworth 2004b, 2004c, 2005), the Marine and Coastal Management Pelagic Working Group has again requested an update regarding the potential future directed sardine TAC for 2007, given data collected prior to and during the May 2006 recruit survey.
