Bio Assess
 

Assessment year: 2013
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 series of total landings of Pagellus spp. estimated by the Working Group was used as the total catch data series for the stock. Two series of abundance indices were used: 1) CPUE series of the Moroccan deep-sea cephalopod trawlers and 2) the series of abundance indices from the surveys.
Results

The available data did not make it possible to obtain conclusive results for the assessment of Pagellus spp. However, the evolution of abundance indices of the scientific surveys indicates a decline which could be a sign of overexploitation of this stock, although an improvement in CPUEs of the national cephalopod trawlers was noted from 2011.
Sci Advice

Considering that the besugue is taken as bycatch in several fisheries, it is important to monitor the application of the regulations in force in the different fisheries to ensure a stock recovery.
