Type: Report - Fisheries Assessment Report (FAR)

This report presents additional assessments of hoki, hake and ling stocks using alternative catch histories. The assessments are for both hoki stocks (HOK 1 east, HOK 1 west), the three hake biological stocks (HAK 1 Sub-Antarctic, HAK 4 Chatham Rise, HAK 7 west coast South Island), and the three largest ling biological stocks (LIN 3&4 Chatham Rise, LIN 5&6 Sub-Antarctic, LIN 7 WCSI). Estimates of current stock status generally differed little from the base case model assessments.
