Abstract
The performances of a number of OMP candidates for the fishery for rock lobster at Nightingale are reported. These performances do not show much variation amongst the various candidates. For this and other reasons it is recommended that CMP9 be adopted as the new OMP for Nightingale. This CMP has a TAC ceiling of 100 MT. Very little further resource protection (which is in any case already certainly adequate) is provided by a CMP with a lower TAC ceiling. All the CMPs have appropriate feedback, so that if the resource declines in the future, the future TAC will do so too. An added precautionary feature defines an Ilim catch rate below which the TAC can decline faster than the baseline constraint of 5% pa given the occurrence of specified “Exceptional Circumstances”; this feature is built into the CMPs.
