Stock assessment in the GFCM area of application is often conducted by management units, based on GSAs. This method does not ensure that the whole stock is assessed, since stocks may cover several different management units. In some cases, when there is scientific evidence of a stock spreading through different GSAs, as well as information on species from different GSAs, existing information is combined across GSAs. This is then defined as a “joint stock assessment of a shared stock”. The GFCM recommends that when scientific evidence of shared stocks exists, joint stock assessments should be attempted. A number of activities aimed at achieving a better definition of stock boundaries are currently being conducted at the GFCM level. [The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, 2016]
Exploit
 

The trawl fleets fishing efforts in the ports were quite stable for the period studied with small variations of the number of vessels in the recent years. Vessels length was between 12-24 m. The gear used corresponded to a trawl net 60 and 100 longest rope. The vertical opening was between 1-3 m. The codend mesh size used was a squared 40 mm of mesh opening. The net was rigged two doors between 500-800 kg. Trawl fleet in the four ports do daily trips with a unique haul directed to the red shrimp, with a duration between 5-7 hours. The number of harbours with red shrimp fleets is 26 for the whole area, and the number of boats in this area is 189. Discards of the red shrimp are null. In 2019, landings were around 547 tonnes and total effort over 14 251 fishing days by year and CPUE medium, 38.4 kg/day.

Bio Assess
 
Data

Size composition of commercial trawl catches by sex, official landings and data from MEDITS surveys (2000-2019). Growth parameters from L/W and Age/L relationships are from DCF (2013-2015). M vector is from ProdBiom (Abella et al 1997).

SCAA (a4a, FLR), FLBRP package for Y/R analysis and Flash package for short-term forecast.
Results

Stock biomass showed oscillations for the entire data series, with a general decreasing trend. Recruitment is also decreasing, F increased last year with fluctuations along the time series studied.
Sci Advice

Reduce fishing mortality.
