This document presents updated assessments of the west coast rock lobster resource using the length-based model and the most recent available data. Results are shown for both area-aggregated and area-disaggregated approaches, and for two scenarios for historic recruitment trends (RC1 and RC2). Fits of the models to the data are shown. In most instances, the area-aggregated results are quite similar to the corresponding sums of the area-disaggregated estimates.
