Abstract
This document details a calculation noted during the December 2018 Small Pelagic Scientific Working Group meeting which compared the recent survey estimate of sardine biomass to estimated carrying capacity, showing the survey biomass west of Cape Agulhas corresponded to approximately 3-4% of carrying capacity. A comparison between the alternative biomass “currencies” of total, spawner, effective spawner and survey estimated biomass is also given.
