CONCLUSIONS

Page 12: Assessment of red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) exploited by the Spanish trawl fishery: in the geographical sub-area Balearic Islands (GSA-5) and Northern.

CONCLUSIONS

• The overall performance of the sex combined assessment fits the data well and seems reasonable with the sum of separate estimates of males and females XSA method.

Page 13: Assessment of red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) exploited by the Spanish trawl fishery: in the geographical sub-area Balearic Islands (GSA-5) and Northern.

CONCLUSIONS

• The overall performance of the sex combined assessment fits the data well and seems reasonable with the sum of separate estimates of males and females XSA method.

• Separable VPA and XSA give similar results.

CONCLUSIONS

• The overall performance of the sex combined assessment fits the data well and seems reasonable with the sum of separate estimates of males and females XSA method.

• Separable VPA and XSA give similar results.

• Combined sex results are more easily understandable assessment in order to apply management measures and give an improved perception of the status of the stock as a whole.

CONCLUSIONS

• The overall performance of the sex combined assessment fits the data well and seems reasonable with the sum of separate estimates of males and females XSA method.

• Separable VPA and XSA give similar results.

• Combined sex results are more easily understandable assessment in order to apply management measures and give an improved perception of the status of the stock as a whole.

• From the surveys abundance and yield fluctuated between years and it seems quite stable.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Page 17: Assessment of red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) exploited by the Spanish trawl fishery: in the geographical sub-area Balearic Islands (GSA-5) and Northern.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• To not increase the fishing effort.

Page 18: Assessment of red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) exploited by the Spanish trawl fishery: in the geographical sub-area Balearic Islands (GSA-5) and Northern.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• To not increase the fishing effort.

• increasing the mesh size or changing to square mesh could contribute to increase the current Y/R

• Conserve the spawning capacity of the stock to reproduce, favouring mating and spawning process with temporal or spatial closed fishing seasons, zones or effort reduction during these processes.
