Download FAR 2014/45 The 2013 stock assessment of paua (Haliotis iris) for PAU 5B

This report summarises the stock assessment for PAU 5B which includes fishery data up to the 2012–13 fishing year. The base case model (0.1) estimated that the spawning stock population in 2013 was about 44% (36–53%) of B0. The model projection made for three years assuming current catch levels and using recruitments re-sampled from the recent model estimates, suggested that the spawning stock abundance will increase to about 48% (38–61%) of B0 over the next three years.
