Download FAR 2019/20: A 2017 Stock Assessment of ORH 3B Puysegur

A Bayesian stock assessment of ORH3B Puysegur is presented. The assessment was implemented in CASAL and the stock was assessed to the end of the 2016-17 fishing year. In the base model, B0 was estimated at 17 000 t (95% CI: 13 000–23 000 t), with stock status at 49% B0 (95% CI: 36–62% B0). This is at the top end of the target biomass range of 30–50% B0.
