1 STOCK ASSESSMENT OF YELLOWFIN TUNA IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN UPDATE OF 2011 STOCK ASSESSMENT January 1975 December 2011

2 Outline Stock assessment (base case model) Methodology (Stock Synthesis) Fishery data Model assumptions Results (fishing mortality, recruitment, biomasses, others) Retrospective analysis Stock status (base case) Simulations (projections with status quo and F MSY ) Sensitivity analyses (Document YFT-01-08) Summary conclusions on stock status

3 Methodology Overview of assessment model Age-structured, statistical, catch-at- length model (Stock Synthesis version 3.23b, Dec. 2011) Same type of model as MULTIFAN-CL, A-SCALA and CASAL (integrated analysis)

4 Fishery data Catches Fishery definitions Discards Fishing effort Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) Size-compositions

5 New or updated data Fishery data Surface fisheries Catch, CPUE and size-frequency data updated to include new data for 2011 and revised data for earlier years Longline fisheries New or updated longline catch data: China (2010), Chinese Taipei ( ), French Polynesia (2010), Japan ( ), Republic of Korea ( ) and US ( ) New or updated CPUE data available for Japan ( ) No new or updated longline size-frequency for Japan (data from 2011 submission used, )

22 Model assumptions (base case) Movement and stock structure Biology (growth, natural mortality and maturity) Stock-recruitment relationship (S-R)

23 YFT movement in EPO Assumptions Most Probable Tracks, from Archival Tags, for the 5 Longest at Liberty Yellowfin Tuna Released in Each of 5 Areas in the eastern Pacific Ocean

24 Assumptions YFT stock structure assumptions Minimal net movement of fish between the EPO and WCPO Single stock of YFT in EPO

25 YFT stock-recruitment relationship Assumptions Beverton-Holt relationship No S-R relationship (steepness = 1) Sensitivity analysis (Appendix A) Steepness = 0.75 Likelihood profile on steepness (0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0)

26 Assumptions YFT age and growth Richards growth curve Growth parameters fixed (Maunder and Aires-da-Silva, 2009) Variability of length-at-age fixed, CV of linear f(age) See Document YFT for new growth estimates from integrated age-at-length and tagging data

27 YFT natural mortality (M) Assumptions

28 YFT natural mortality (M) Assumptions

29 YFT relative fecundity Assumptions Relative fecundity x maturity Schaefer (1998) Age in quarters = Percent mature * Batch fecundity * spawning frequency

30 Assumptions Fixed parameters Steepness (h) of S-R relationship (h=1) Rsigma (CV=0.6) Mean length at age Params of a linear model relating the CV of L@A to age Sex ratio at age 0 (=0.5) Sex and age-specific natural mortality-rates (M) Age-specific fecundity at age CV of LL-S CPUE (CV=0.2) Selectivity curves for discard fisheries

31 Estimated parameters Assumptions Recruitment in every quarter from 1975 to 2012 (average recruitment and temporal recruitment anomalies) Catchability coefficients for the 5 CPUE indices (NOA-N, NOA-S, DEL-N, DEL-I, LL-S) CV for 4 CPUE indices (NOA, DEL) Selectivity curves for 11 of the 16 fisheries (DEL-S mirrors LL-S) Logistic selectivity for LL-S and DEL-S, and dome-shape for all other fisheries (except discards) Initial population size and age-structure (recruitment offset, initial F, deviates for ages 1 to 15 quarters)

74 Summary

75 Summary Summary: key results The recent fishing mortality rates are estimated to be lower than those corresponding to the MSY(F recent <F MSY ) The recent levels of spawning biomass are estimated to be at those corresponding to the MSY (S recent =S MSY )

76 Plausible Sensitivities and Uncertainties - lessons from previous assessments Summary Results are more pessimistic with: The inclusion of a stock-recruitment relationship Higher values of the average size of the oldest fish (L 2 > 182 cm) Lower rates of adult natural mortality (M) Results are more optimistic with: Lower values of the average size of the oldest fish (L 2 < 182 cm) Higher rates of adult natural mortality (M) Fitting to CPUE DEL-N as main index of abundance (S recent >S MSY )

77 Summary: key results (cont.) Results - base case There population may have recently switched from a high to a an intermediate productivity regime

78 Future Future directions Alternative assumptions on stock structure (see YFT and YFT-01-03) Time-variant selectivity for PS fisheries (see YF-01-06) More robust selectivity curves Determine appropriate weighting of the different data sets (presentation ahead)
