Indirect method
Results

Uncertainty in the assessment and methodological problems in incorporating acoustic time series in the production model, so the model only relies on CPUE, which is very similar to the landings. The Working Group on stock assessment Small Pelagic Species (WGSASP) suggested to evaluate the trend in effort data and that CPUE is evaluated independently to its performance in the production model. The WGSASP recommended the use of available time series both for CPUE and acoustic abundance indices. In the case of fitting problems, alternative production model should be tested. The area should be covered yearly with an independent survey.
Sci Advice

Not to increase fishing mortality
