Abstract

This documents provides a list of performance statistics which have been considered historically in the development of OMPs for the South African sardine and anchovy fishery as well as new performance statistics which are proposed to enable questions which are key in the development of a new OMP for this fishery to be addressed, e.g. the impact of a candidate MP on the sardine resource under one vs two sardine stock hypotheses, the effects of spatially explicit management etc. As the OMP under development will need to be tested against a wide range of underlying operating model assumptions, some of these key assumptions which are needed in specifying future projections are listed here to allow further discussion of their appropriateness. Discussion on how candidates for OMP-12 will best be tuned to facilitate a final choice would also be desirable, so some suggestions follow in that regard. Constructive additions to this list are invited at the next Pelagic Scientific Working Group meeting in order that a consolidated document can be presented for further critique to the International Stock Assessment Workshop at the end of November.
