Description
Summary:Earlier CPUE-based SCAA assessments of the 2+3KLMNO Greenland halibut resource by Butterworth and Rademeyer are updated by taking account of some data adjustments and adjusting methodology for consistency with refinements of the SCAA methodology now applied to survey based. Results are qualitatively unchanged, indicating a resource currently at an intermediate level of depletion, and increasing over recent years in line with recent increases in CPUE.
