Description:Several analyses were conducted to address the request of the Northern Committee of the Western and Central North Pacific Fisheries Commission for the ISC Billfish Working Group to provide advice on which recruitment scenario was most likely for the 2019 Western and Central North Pacific Ocean striped marlin stock assessment projections. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the time trend of the recruitment estimates from the stock assessment. The results showed a significant long-term decline in age-0 recruits indicating that using a long-term recruitment trend for future projections was not consistent with the observed recent recruitment values. The long-term decline in recruitment, combined with the better out-of-sample predictive accuracy of the short-term recruitment scenario and the observation that recruitment for billfishes are generally positively auto-correlated, led us to conclude that the short-term recruitment scenario was the most likely recruitment scenario for conducting future stock projections for Western and Central North Pacific Ocean striped marlin.
