21st Regular Session of the Scientific Committee

The Commission adopted Conservation and Management Measure for the North Pacific Striped Marlin (CMM 2024-06). The Commission tasked the ISC in 2025 to conduct updated projections for North Pacific striped marlin, incorporating the catch allocations described in paragraph 5 of CMM 2024-06. These projections should evaluate whether the adopted allocations are consistent with achieving the rebuilding target outlined in the rebuilding plan (para 652, WCPFC21 Summary Report). 

SC21 will review the ISC’s updated projections and provide advice to the Commission.
