Management procedures for the South African hake resource in the 2000s

The two-species South African hake fishery (deep-water Merluccius paradoxus and shallow-water M. capensis) has been managed using Operational Management Procedures (OMPs) since 1990. This thesis summarises the development of two OMPs: OMP-2007, which was the basis for the 2007 to 2010 Total Allowable Catch (TAC) recommendations, and OMP-2011, which was first used for the 2011 TAC recommendation and which is intended to extend to 2014. The Operating Models (OMs) used for simulation testing of OMP-2007 were based on the first fully species-disaggregated coast wide assessment of the South African hake resource.
