Description:
"The following Pacific sardine assessment update was conducted to inform U.S. fishery management for the fishing year that begins July 1, 2015 and ends June 30, 2016. Model 'T' represented the final base model from the most recent stock assessment review (STAR) conducted in March 2014 (Hill et al. 2014, STAR 2014). This update assessment appends Model T with one additional year of data from fishery-dependent and -independent sources and is based on similar parameterizations as included in the most recently reviewed Model T.... This assessment focuses on the Pacific sardine northern subpopulation (NSP) that ranges from northern Baja California, México to British Columbia, Canada and extends up to 300 nm offshore. In all past assessments, the default approach has been to assume that all catches landed in ports from Ensenada (ENS) to British Columbia (BC) were from the northern subpopulation"--Executive summary.

"The Pacific sardine resource is assessed each year in support of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) process of recommending annual harvest specifications for the U.S. fishery. The following assessment update for 2015-16 management is based on data and methods reviewed by a Stock Assessment Review (STAR) Panel during March 2014 (STAR 2014) and more fully described in Hill et al. (2014). The stock assessment update was conducted using Stock Synthesis (SS), and includes one additional year of data from fishery-dependent and fishery-independent sources. A preliminary draft assessment was reviewed by members of the Scientific and Statistical Committee's CPS Subcommittee on March 6, 2015 in Vancouver, WA. The following final draft incorporates changes recommended during that review and was provided to the Pacific Fishery Management Council for their April 2015 briefing book"--Preface.
