The Fisheries Commission adopted in 2010 an MSE approach for Greenland halibut stock in Subarea 2 + Division 3KLMNO (FC Working Paper 10/7). This approach considers a survey based harvest control rule (HCR) to set a TAC for this stock on an annual basis for the next four year period.

Data

Survey slopes were computed over the most recent five years (2006-2010) and are illustrated below. The data series included in the HCR computation are the Canadian Autumn Div. 2J3K index (“F2J3K”), the Canadian Spring Div. 3LNO index (“S3LNO”), and the EU Flemish Cap index covering depths from 0-1400m (“EU1400”). Averaging the individual survey slopes yields slope= -0.1130.

Results

Therefore, 17185*[1+2*(-0.1130)] = 13 301 t. However, as this change exceeds 5%, the HCR constraint is activated and TAC2012 = 0.95*17185=16 326 t.
