Draft Risk Management Proposal Thai Lychee cold treatment for consultation
This report describes the 2021 assessment of the KAH 1 stock. A fleets-as-areas configuration was used for this model because consistent regional differences were evident in recreational age composition data. The key source of uncertainty explored in this assessment was the assumed rate of natural mortality, but, regardless, all models indicated a current stock status that was close to or above the target level of 52% B0.

FAR 2022/53 Trawl survey of middle depth fish species off the west coast South Island, July–August 2021 (TAN2107)
The sixth trawl survey off the west coast South Island (WCSI) was completed August 2021. Species monitored by the trawl survey include hake, ling, and a range of other species. Ling biomass declined to the lowest of the series, while hake increased. As well as supporting the stock assessments for hake and ling, the trawl survey provides information on a number of bycatch species. A total of 208 species or species groups were caught and 25 845 fish or squid of 64 different species were measured.
