Scoring criteria Scoring guidepost 60 Scoring guidepost 80 Scoring guidepost 100 1.2 Harvest Strategy (management) 1.2.1 Harvest Strategy: There is a robust and precautionary harvest strategy in place Scoring comments (1-60) The harvest strategy is expected to achieve stock management objectives reflected in the target and limit reference points. (2-60) The harvest strategy is likely to work based on prior experience or plausible argument. (3-60) Monitoring is in place that is expected to determine whether the harvest strategy is working. (1-80) The harvest strategy is responsive to the state of the stock and the elements of the harvest strategy work together towards achieving management objectives reflected in the target and limit reference points. (2-80) The harvest strategy may not have been fully tested but monitoring is in place and evidence exists that it is achieving its objectives. (1-100) The harvest strategy is responsive to the state of the stock and is designed to achieve stock management objectives reflected in the target and limit reference points. (2-100) The performance of the harvest strategy has been fully evaluated and evidence exists to show that it is achieving its objectives including being clearly able to maintain stocks at target levels. (3-100) The harvest strategy is periodically reviewed and improved as necessary. The harvest strategy for the sea bass fishery is designed to avoid growth overfishing and maximise recruitment to the adult stock by protecting bass smaller than 36 cm (see report section 3.1). There is a robust and precautionary strategy that has been in place and monitored for 20 years, which has been demonstrated to have achieved its stock management objectives in UK waters in terms of yield per recruit and MSY. The performance of the harvest strategy has been periodically reviewed and evaluated, which has demonstrated that the growth overfishing that took place in the 1980‘s has ameliorated and there are no signs of recruitment overfishing. There are no target or limit reference points in terms of SSB and F for this stock, but the assessment team has not penalised the fishery for the absence of clearly defined reference points under this Performance Indicator, since the harvest strategy clearly uses an appropriate proxy for reference points. Instead, the harvest strategy is designed to achieve management objectives in terms of yield per recruit and MSY. These Page 63 of 151
metrics are more appropriate to a species like sea bass where a wide variability in recruitment is related to environmental factors rather than SSB. The harvest strategy may not have been fully tested but monitoring is in place and evidence exists that it is achieving its objectives. The harvest strategy is likely to work based on prior experience (for the UK fishery), but this has not been demonstrated in other bass fisheries in the North Sea (though plausible argument suggests that it is likely), and monitoring is in place to determine whether the harvest strategy is working for the stock as a whole. Moreover, though ICES advised (ACOM, 2004) that effort should not be increased for sea bass in any area, it is apparent that trawl fisheries in particular have been increasingly directed at sea bass as catch quotas on other species have been reduced. Nevertheless, decommissioning, fleet restructuring and effort controls (e.g. days-at-sea) have clearly led to a reduction in F in all North Sea towed-gear fisheries (ICES 2010), with a consequent constraint on effort that might take bass. Score: All elements of SG60 and SG 80 are satisfied, and a score of 80 awarded. Score: 80 Audit trace references (ICES, 2004; Pawson et al., 2005; ICES, 2008). Page 64 of 151
