Abstract
A description of the Statistical catch at Length (SCAL) assessment methodology is given, covering both the formulation of the population dynamics and the penalised log likelihood used for fitting to data. Parameter value inputs for recent applications to East Atlantic and Mediterranean as well as to West Atlantic bluefin tuna are provided, together with the data used on those occasions.
