1 Evaluation of NEA haddock Harvest Control Rules Alexey Russkikh, Anatolii Chetyrkin, Yuri Kovalev, Bjarte Bogstad, and Gjert Dingsør

2 Background Northeast arctic haddock has been managed by harvest control rules since 2004 The existing rule has evolved from the first rule proposed by the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission (JNRFC) in 2003 and ICES has previously found it to be in agreement with the precautionary approach At its 45 th session in October 2015, JNRFC decided that a number of alternative harvest control rules (HCRs) for Northeast Arctic cod and haddock and Barents Sea capelin should be evaluated by ICES

3 Existing HCR TAC for the next year will be set at level corresponding to F MSY (0.35) The TAC should not be changed by more than +/- 25% compared with the previous year TAC. If the spawning stock falls below B pa (80 000t), the procedure for establishing TAC should be based on a fishing mortality that is linearly reduced from F MSY at B pa to F= 0 at SSB equal to zero. At SSB-levels below B pa in any of the operational years (current year and a year ahead) there should be no limitations on the year-to-year variations in TAC.

4 Existing HCR F t SSB

5 2015 assessment Spawning stock biomass, SSB Fishing mortality, F F lim F msy, F target SSB 95% confidence interval B pa F bar % confidence interval

6 Historic HCR performance

7 Request JNRFC asks ICES to explore the consequences of the following harvest control rules: 1. The existing harvest control rule, but with F target =0.27 instead of The existing harvest control rule 3. The existing harvest control rule, but with F target =0.43 instead of The existing harvest control rule, but with a constraint of maximum 10% TAC variation from year to year instead of a 25% constraint which is presently used 5. The existing harvest control rule, but with no constraint of maximum TAC variation from year to year 6. The existing harvest control rule, but without limitation +25%

8 Long term simulations In accordance with the ICES guidelines for evaluation of Management Plans Software: NE_PROST (Kovalev; Excel/Visual Basic) individual runs of 100 years were made for each HCR, long-term evaluations statistics were collected for the last 80 years HCR is precautionary in accordance with the ICES standard when the short, medium and long-term probability that the SSB falling below B lim is no more than 5%

9 Long term simulations The simulation model accounts for variation between years for the following processes: Recruitment; lognormal distribution with autocorrelation included Density-dependent growth Density-dependent maturation Assessment error; random noise Constant parameters Natural mortality (including cod predation, mean ) Selection pattern (mean ) No implementation error

10 Results HCR No Target F TAC Constraint % (SSB > Bpa) N/A + :N/A; 25 Mean F realised Prob (SSB<Blim) in % Prob (SSB<Bpa) in % Mean catch Median catch Standard deviation of catch Median TSB Median SSB Median annual change in Catch, % Mean weight in catch, kg % of years + TAC constraint applied N/A N/A % years TAC constraint applied N/A 22.8

13 Simulated catch

14 WKNEAMP conclusions 1. Do not increase F target (not precautionary) 2. The proposal of 10% limitation of annual TAC variability (HCR 4) will decrease average yield. Among the six HCRs tested, the current HCR (2) performs best in terms of average yield, stability of yield and degree of precaution. ICES Report of the second workshop on Management Plan Evaluation on Northeast Arctic cod and haddock and Barents Sea capelin (WKNEAMP-2), January 2016, Kirkenes, Norway. ICES CM 2016/ACOM: pp.

15 Advice Scenarios with a higher F (HCR 3, 5 and 6) than used presently (HCR 2) result in 0% - 4% higher long-term median yield, with an increase in inter-annual TAC variability between 13% and 36% The median long-term SSB expected with the higher F HCR (3) is around 20% lower than under the presently used HCR HCRs 1 (lower target F) and 4 (10% limit on interannual TAC variation) lead to lower long-term catch, lower inter-annual TAC variability and higher median long-term SSB than HCR 2.
