Abstract
The results presented here are for the current “best-performing” OMP. Results included using the “observed” 2005 somatic growth data provided by James Gaylard (OLRAC). (Note: 2005 refers to the 2005/06 season.) The OMPs presented here are meant to be tuned so that the average commercial TAC over the 10-year period is either 2000 MT, 2200 MT, 2400 MT or 2600 MT. Due to lack of time, the current tuning is approximate with these values actually being 2030 MT, 2245 MT and 2401 MT and 2596 MT. The OMP presented assumes that 5% of the A8 commercial TAC is transferred to super-areas A34 and A7 with a ratio of 0.20:0.80 respectively. The rationale behind this selection of TAC transfer is to attempt to get a more even spread of resource depletion/recovery across all five super-areas.
