Abstract
The movement model for assessing the South African hake populations which was
presented to last year’s review workshop is simplified by applying the “gravity” method to
model movement. This reduces the numbering of movement parameters estimated from
234 to 68. This results in recent biomass estimates which are slightly more precise and
somewhat lower in both absolute terms and relative to estimated pre-exploitation levels.
Areas for possible future research are discussed briefly.
