Stock assessment and management advice for BC Pacific herring : 2016 status and 2017 forecast.: Fs70-7/2016-052E-PDF

“Absent Herring Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) recommendations, there remains a need to provide management advice for at least the 2016-17 fishing year. This Science Response provides stock-specific science advice on spawning biomass trends, stock status in 2016, and projected pre-harvest spawning biomass for 2017 using two alternative stock assessments: AM1 and AM2. Decision tables for 2017 present the probabilities of projected spawning biomass falling below the 0.25SB0 level (AM1) or fixed cut-off levels (AM2) and probabilities of the harvest rate exceeding the 20% or 10% target rates for a range of constant catch levels. Area specific summaries of these results are provided below"--Conclusions & Advice, p. 43.
