21st Regular Session of the Scientific Committee

Agenda Item 4.2 Template for reporting stock assessment outcomes (Project 113b)

Annotation

SC20 recommended a template for Consistent Reporting of Stock Assessment Outcomes, Uncertainties and Risk (Attachment F, SC20 Summary Report), and the Commission endorsed the template as a guideline, providing the following advice (para 206, WCPFC21 Summary Report): 

  • Include MSY-based reference points in the template if calculable and useful.

  • Correct overfished status reference to LRP (20%SBF=0).

  • Revise the overfishing reference to FMSY.

SC21 will review the Commission’s advice above and finalize the template for applying to the Provision of scientific information to the Commission section under each stock assessment agenda item.
