Description
Summary:The Workshop on evaluation of the adopted harvest control rules for ling, tusk, plaice and Atlantic wolffish in Icelandic waters (WKICEMP) was tasked with providing the technical basis needed by ICES to respond to the request from Iceland on evaluation of a set of proposed harvest control rules for ling, tusk, plaice and Atlantic wolffish. The workshop addressed all its terms of reference, with the following main outcomes: For the four stocks a review of the stock structure and identity was carried out. Based on genetic studies, tagging data and other evidence it was concluded that the interchange of the four stocks with other stocks of the same species was low enough to be treated as isolated populations. Life-history data, fishery-dependent and fishery-independent data was analysed to identify the best available data to feed into the stock assessment model. Ecosystem drivers and multi-species and mixed fisheries interactions were also considered but were not included directly in the assessment framework. ...
