Abstract
Following the recent 2005 spawner biomass survey, the initial 2006 TACs for the
South African sardine and initial sardine TAB are to be set. The following data have
been used:
1. November 2005 survey sardine spawner biomass: 962 289 tonnes
(November 2004 = 2 607 064 tonnes).
2. November 2005 survey anchovy spawner biomass: 3 062 710 tonnes
(November 2004 = 2 035 827 tonnes).
3. Directed sardine TAC for 2005: 382 119 tonnes.
4. Anchovy normal season TAC for 2005: 215 000 tonnes1
Using the above data, the initial 2006 TACs and TAB are calculated by the Rerevised
OMP-04 (Cunningham and Butterworth 2005a) to be:
Directed sardine TAC: 204 000 tonnes (eqn (A.1, A.2))
Initial normal season anchovy TAC: 212 251 tonnes (eqn (A.3, A.4))
Initial normal season sardine TAB: 32 711 tonnes (eqn (A.6)
