Abstract

This document expands upon the baseline and sensitivity SCAA assessments of the Greenland halibut resource by Rademeyer and Butterworth (2017). First, projections under different levels of a constant catch are reported. These suggest that for all the cases of assessments (operating models – OMs) considered, an annual TAC of 20000t would be sustainable, but for most of these cases 30000t would not. Some variants of a simple target-based Management Procedure (MP) are applied purely as examples to illustrate the performance trade-offs and robustness considerations involved in selecting an MP.
