Abstract
Cunningham and Butterworth (2006a) indicated a need to modify the rule for directed sardine TAC in OMP-04 as a precautionary measure in case a low biomass be observed in November 2006, resulting in the current OMP setting a TAC corresponding to an inappropriately high harvest proportion. This modification to the rule is necessary due to the below average recruitment to the sardine population in 2004 and 2005, which has resulted in the population being outside the range projected when OMP-04 was tested.
