As a consequence F needs consistent reduction from the current F towards the candidate limit reference point for long term sustainability based on F0.1. (Fcurr/F0.1=2.4).

Results

The VIT analysis (software based on LCA and Y/R analysis adapted to Mediterranean fisheries) showed an anomaly in 2009. The origin of this anomaly should be explained, and also why this anomaly has not been observed when running the XSA analysis. In addition, the XSA analysis was applied on 6 years data while the maximum age was 7 years, which does not allow the analysis to cover a complete cohort. At least 7 years should be needed to an adequate XSA run. The VIT analysis has been applied on single years, while the GFCM recommendations specify that years should be lumped together when using this approach. This remark was also addressed at the end of the sessions and a general recommendation is done in the last section of this report. The sensitivity of the results to the use of yearly or lumped data should be tested.
Sci Advice

Based on the results of the XSA performed, a reduction of about ~60% of the fishing mortality is needed to reach the technical target reference point F0.1; at present both SSB and recruitment show clear decreasing trends. A progressive reduction of current F through consistent effort reduction and an improvement in current exploitation patterns are recommended. In this context a multiannual management plan to be implemented at GSA 15 and 16 taking into account the effects of the different gears targeting different life stages of common pandora (P. erythrinus) is advisable.
