Abstract
As general background, it should be noted that the brief for document MCM/2010/SWG-PEL/35 was to combine into a single convenient reference a number of documents that contributed to the discussion and decision on the issue of possibly amending the pelagic OMP to take explicit account of impacts of removals by the fishery on penguin dynamics that was taken at the December 2008 meeting of the PWG. No attempt was made in that document (PEL/35) to revise the calculations available at that time in the light of further work which has been ongoing – some of that work and associated future plans have been reported in the latter part of MCM/2010/SWG-PEL/36. Furthermore, it should be noted that those
calculations had to be finalized rapidly to meet that December 2008 deadline, taking account of elements were not reported upon in as full a manner as might otherwise have been the case.
