Stock assessments for CPS in 2011 Presentation outline • Overview of stock assessment model development • From field to lab to analysis to management advice • Pertinent differences between current Pacific sardine and Pacific mackerel models • Data (time series) included in the model • Parameterization (stock parameter) considerations • P. mackerel and P. sardine stock assessments (overviews) • Management procedures • Pacific sardine as example • Future considerations • Model development for P. sardine and P. mackerel • International-based collaborative sampling/laboratory/modeling efforts for CPS
Stock assessments for CPS in 2011 Overview of stock assessment model development • Historical review of available data and modeling approaches over time • Fishery-dependent sample data largely collected by state (and international) agencies • Research survey data collected primarily by federal-based programs • Laboratory work conducted by state and federal research efforts • Formal population analysis conducted/coordinated by federal research programs • Management processes are addressed annually through regional Council activities
Stock assessments for CPS in 2011 Pertinent differences between current sardine and mackerel models • Data (time series) • Age/length distribution time series … length- vs. age-based • Index of abundance time series … research survey- vs. fishery-based • Parameterization (stock parameter) • Use of age and length data for evaluating selectivity, growth, etc. • Spawning stock—recruitment relationship

Pacific Mackerel Stock Assessment (2011) Data • Landings — USA from PacFIN/RecFIN and available at a fine scale • International landings availability … much improved over time • Biology — from state/federal sampling/laboratory programs and available at a fine scale, but … • Length … recreational fishery length information prior to 1992 (and you could even argue 2004) caveats • Age … no recreational fishery age information • Weight … see Length above • Maturity … ‘long in the tooth’ caveats • Indices of abundance — from state sampling programs and available at a fine scale, but … • CPFV logbook sampling program … future ‘applicability’ of this data source needs further review • CRFS program … long-term funding concerns

Ongoing Modeling Issues • Scaling the population from a fully-depleted condition (early 1980s) • Sensitivity to new data (e.g., SS model 2008) • Implausibly high F-rates (SS models 2009-2010): aerial survey biomass treated as absolute • Recent models had many selectivity parameters and time-varying elements resulting in model instability (i.e., over-parameterized) Changes from Previous Assessments NEW MODEL STRUCTURE Goal: more parsimonious model; robust to data/scaling; plausibleFestimates • Regional fisheries aggregated to MexCal and PacNW ‘fleets’ • Truncated time series (1993 start year) • Fewer time-varying elements (selectivity and growth) • Number of estimated parameters reduced from 132 to 61 NEW DATA SOURCES • Ensenada fishery composition (1989-2009) • SWFSC Acoustic survey time series (2006-2011)

Stock assessments for CPS in 2011 Future considerations • Model development • Using age- vs. length-based selectivity (sardine) • Down-weight fishery composition data per Francis (2011) • Time-varying selectivity/catchability considerations • Survey-based indices of abundance (mackerel) • International-based collaborative efforts • Synoptic CPS surveys • Adult sample collection & methods (ageing and reproductive biology) • Stock structure studies • Stock assessment workshops
