Tridge summary

The Federal Fisheries Council is considering increasing the maximum allowable catch of the southern stock of hubbsi hake from 319 thousand tons to 339 thousand tons by 2025, based on scientific support from INIDEP. The technical report supporting this decision projects the population dynamics and compliance with the set objectives, while also taking into account discards, underreported tons, and bycatch projections. The researchers emphasize the need for additional management measures to reduce juvenile captures and avoid breeders during the reproductive season, such as maintaining current closed area dimensions, using selective fishing gear, and enforcing catch declaration controls.
