This document is intended to address several issues related to the development of recruitment indices for Antarctic krill from net-tow data. We address three primary issues: 1) the view that length-frequency data collected by long-term monitoring programs that have used nets other than the RMT-8 cannot be used to parameterize Grym simulations, 2) that Read More

Proportional recruitment is a concept that summarizes the variability of new individuals entering a population over time. Two parameters characterizing proportional recruitment, the mean and standard deviation of the interannual proportion of juveniles in the population, are important inputs to the Generalised Yield Model in R (GRYM). The GRYM is a simulation framework that defines Read More

The GrYM model is now ready for used in the new krill management approach. However, some of the important model input parameters were still to be determined. The present paper introduced briefly the status of the model parameter developments to contribute to the discussion at WG-SAM-2022.

Precautionary yield ('gamma', the proportion of stock biomass harvested annually) for the Antarctic krill fishery is currently chosen by comparing krill spawning stock biomass (SSB) during 20-year model projections to pre-exploitation spawning stock biomass (SSB0). Both SSB and SSB0 are simulated for these projections using input data considered known. Precautionary yield derived Read More
