WoS cod – surveys
• Available surveys:– ScoGFS-WIBTS-Q1: 1985–2010
• Became UKSGFS-WIBTS-Q1 in 2011– ScoGFS-WIBTS-Q4: 1996-2009
• Became UKSGFS-WIBTS-Q4 in 2011– IGFS-WIBTS-Q4
• Only ScoGFS-WIBTS-Q1 used in assessment
• 2013 assessment: Too soon to use UKSGFS (& stock subject to 1.5% bycatch rule).

WoS cod – assessment
• Assessed using the TSA method– Includes ScoGFS-WIBTS-Q1 survey, landings &
discards– Landings 1995-2005 not used (suspected as
biased)– No survey data for 2011-2012.
• TSA - same basic approach as SAM model but developed in house (Rob Fryer)

WoS cod – Management plan
• Unlike N Sea F reduction only related to previous year
• Reduction depends on prediction of SSB at start of TAC year:– 25% reduction in F if SSB < Blim– 15% reduction in F if Blim < SSB < Bpa– Min(10% reduction in F or F=0.4) if SSB > Bpa
• But 20% limit to changes in TAC• But But 25% TAC reduction if stock
unhealthy yet ‘data poor’ • Also – ICES has never accepted
management plan as precautionary
WoS cod – Advice
• MSY approach– MSY framework: TAC = 30 t– MSY transition: TAC = 270 t
• But because SSB << Blim advice was for zero catch
