A fully integrated stock assessment is presented for HOK 1 modelled with two stocks (western and eastern) and with fish residing in four regions. The western stock is estimated to be lower than the eastern stock, with biomass expected to be 25–46% B0 in 2026 under current catch levels for the western stock and 44–51% B0 for the eastern stock. A simpler model with one stock and one region estimated biomass to be 22–63%B0 in 2026. Target range for hoki is 35–50% B0.
