The Plenary Report summarises biological, fishery, stock assessment and stock status information for 80 species or species groups, each of which is split into 1-10 stocks. The Plenary takes into account the most recent data and analyses available to Fisheries Assessment Working Groups (FAWGs) and the Fisheries Assessment Plenary and also incorporates relevant analyses undertaken in previous years.

This page enables you to search through all plenary reports since 2006.

KAH 1

An assessment was undertaken for KAH 1 in 2007. In the assessment for KAH 1 there was uncertainty

in some important model inputs (e.g., recreational catch history and abundance indices) and some

influential biological parameters could not be estimated within the model (e.g., natural mortality and

the spawner recruitment relationship).

The approach taken to represent uncertainty was to determine the four main factors for which

uncertainty was likely to have an impact on key model outputs (referred to as the ‘axes of

uncertainty’) and then to select a limited number of plausible options across each axis. Model runs

were then undertaken for all possible combinations of options across each axis – this set of options

was referred to as the ‘grid’. Overall, the grid comprised 36 model runs which in totality were thought

to be a realistic reflection of the extent of uncertainty in the KAH 1 assessment.

Based on the scenarios examined, it is likely that current spawning biomass is above B

Overall, the grid comprised 36 model runs which in totality were thought to be a realistic reflection of the extent of uncertainty in the KAH 1 assessment.

Based on the scenarios examined, it is Likely that current spawning biomass is above BMSY, but it is uncertain how far above.

Current assumed removals are lower than almost all estimates of deterministic MSY. Combining this with the result that most estimates of current biomass are well above BMSY it is unlikely that the stock will decline below BMSY at current assumed catch levels, given the model recruitment assumptions.

The current TAC for KAH 1 is 3315 t w
