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.

Yearly fluctuations in red cod catch (t) reflect changes in recruitment. Trawl surveys and catch sampling of red cod have shown that the fishery is based almost exclusively on two and three year old fish and is highly dependent on recruitment success.

The disparity between the TACC and reported landings indicates that the TACC is not generally attainable. The rationale for introducing and retaining a TACC of this magnitude was to provide the fishing industry with the flexibility to capitalise on years when red cod are plentiful. TACCs were exceeded in 1994–95 and 1998–99, when total catches were the highest since the introduction of the QMS. However, since then total landings have declined and recent catches in the major Fishstocks have been lower than the YAV and MIAEL method MCY estimates.

RCO 1 & RCO 2
For RCO 1 and RCO 2 it is not known if the current TACCs and recent catch levels are sustainable or if they are at levels that will allow the stocks to move towards a size that will support the MSY.

RCO 3
An analysis of recruitment–environment relationship showed that in RCO 3 there is a strong correlation between recruitment and environmental variables with a periodic 14 month time lag. The stock assessment model was sensitive to inclusion of the environment abundance index which predicts a sharp decline in recruitment in recent years. However, the predi
