Results are presented for a proposed new baseline assessment for the South African hake resource, incorporating catchat-length (CAL) information in the fit of the model. In years for which age-length keys are not available, CAL information is used instead of catches-at-age (CAA) which had been previously based on averages of age-length keys for other years (a problematic and potentially biased approach). Further changes to the model and the data that have been made are described below.
