Bio Assess
 

Assessments are reviewed biennially, the last assessment was in 2019.
Assess Models
Type:  Size-structured
Length-based

The use of a length-based model to set catch limits for C. gunnari in Subarea 48.3 was endorsed at the 2010 meeting of the Working Group on Fish Stock Assessment (WG-FSA-10) (SC-CAMLR-XXIX, Annex 8, paragraph 5.164). The assessment used survey data on length densities and biomass density without the need to identify age-specific cohorts.
Sci Advice

A stratified bootstrap of icefish catch density based on the UK 2019 demersal fish survey catch rate data indicated a biomass of 53,124 tonnes (lower one sided 5th percentile: 32,399 tonnes) within Subarea 48.3 (WG-FSA-2019/30). Projections for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons applying the CCAMLR harvest control rule lead to catch limits (TAC) of 3,225 tonnes for 2019/20 and 2,132 tonnes for 2020/21.
