Abstract

The international panel from the annual Stock Assessment Workshops have recommended that the sensitivity of the two mixing stock hypothesis to the inclusion of hydroacoustic survey estimates of recruitment on the South Coast be tested. This time series of data does not cover the full time period modelled, and these data have large CVs (Smith et al. 2013; Dunn et al. 2015). This document explores an alternative where these data are excluded from the two mixing stock model.
