The present document includes an update on the results from the Atlanto Iberian sardine 2014 DEPM survey submitted to the WGACEGG in November 2014. For the preliminary SSB estimates presented at the 2014 meeting, an average spawning fraction value (using the whole series data) was considered for the southern (Algarve and Cadiz Bay) and western strata (western Portugal) since the information collected during the 2014 campaign in those areas was not fully processed. Detailed sampling and laboratorial methodology and survey description including environmental characterization and sampling effort can be found in the 2014 WGACEGG report
