This CRA 5 red rock lobster stock assessment used data to 31 March 2020 and two CRA 5 regions: 1. most of the upper east coast of the South Island and 2. Cape Campbell and the Marlborough Sounds. The model was fitted to standardised CPUE indices, size frequencies, sex ratios, and tag-recapture data and used Bayesian inference to estimate parameter uncertainty. The assessment depicts a stock above the soft and the hard limits which is projected to remain above these limits for the next 5 years.
