Amended Decision Framework for Setting the TACC
STEP 1: EGG PRODUCTION Is the egg production estimate above the limit reference point? |
| Reduce or maintain the TACC to return the egg production to above the limit reference point within two years, with a 75% probability |
YES | ||
STEP 2: AVAILABLE BIOMASS Is the available biomass at the target? | NO
| Adopt a TACC that achieves the target by 2020/21 |
YES | ||
Adopt a TACC that maintains the available biomass at the target | ||
STEP 3: RAW CPUE Is the two-year trend in CPUE consistently contradicting the two-year trend in available biomass? | NO
| Adopt proposed TACC |
YES | ||
RLRAG review of data and model outputs to establish reasons for the inconsistency |
| |
Possible RLRAG-recommended change to the proposed TACC |
