Download FAR 2013/57 The 2012 stock assessment of paua (Haliotis iris) for PAU 5D

This report summarises the stock assessment for PAU 5D which includes fishery data up to the 2011–12 fishing year. The base case model estimated that the spawning stock population in 2012 (B2012) was about 35% (28–44%) of B0. The model projection made for three years assuming current catch levels and using recruitments re-sampled from the recent model estimates, suggested that the spawning stock abundance will increase to about 39% (27–54%) of B0 over the next three years
