Fcur/F0.1: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and F0.1.
Fcur/FSYcur: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and the coefficient that would give a sustainable yield at the current biomass level.
Fcur/FMSY: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and the coefficient that would give a maximum sustainable yield over the long term.
Bcur/B0.1: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to F0.1.
Bcur/BMSY: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to FMSY.
Unless otherwise indicated, the indicators were based on the Schaefer dynamic production stock assessment model.

Bio Assess
 

Assessment year: 2011
The CECAF Working Groups have adopted the following Biological Reference Points (BRPs):
- Limit Reference points: BMSY and FMSY
- Target Reference Points: B0.1 and F0.1
Stock status is assigned based on current estimates of fishing mortality (Fcur) and biomass (Bcur) relative to these target and limit reference points (Bcur/BMSY, Fcur/FMSY, Bcur/B0.1, Fcur/F0.1). The results from the stock assessment of this stock are found under the “Biological state and trend section”.
Assess Models
Type:  Biomass-aggregated
Schaefer dynamic production model

The initial parameter values were: r (intrinsic growth rate) = 1.00; K (initial biomass) = 25 000 and BI/K (biomass of the stock at the beginning of the series of data, compared with the initial biomass) = 40 percent.
Results

The model provides a reasonably good fit to the data with modification of the environment value 1 in 2000 and -1 in 2006. The model reflects the trends in the fisheries of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The results indicate that the stock is not fully exploited.
Sci Advice

As a precautionary measure not to increase fishing effort as a series of more complete and better quality data are not available. The catch should not exceed the 2008 level (5 000 tonnes).
