This document was compiled in RMarkdown, and shows the incremental results of the Chilean Jack Mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) stock assessment update in 2024. The files associated with this document can be found on Github.

The code to create the input files for this assessment and to run these models can be found in jjm/assessment/R/SC11_Bridging.R. Should you choose to run the models, please ensure that you have:

  • Compiled the latest jjm/src/jjms.tpl
    • This can be done by navigating to the jjm/src folder in your Terminal, and using the make command
    • You will need to have ADMB installed to do this.
    • This does not need to be done if you’re only re-compiling the R Markdown document.
  • Updated the jjmR package
    • This can be done in R using the command remotes::install_github("SPRFMO/jjmR")

6 Since the Web Meeting

The code used to run the following sensitivities (1.01 onwards) can be found in assessment/R/SC11.R.

Model Description
1.00 As 0.10 but with updated model (selectivity changes, recruitment) to 2023; 0.10 data file
1.01 As 1.00 but with updated Acoustic_CS data (2020, 2021, 2023)
1.02 As 1.01 but with a break in selectivity in 2020
1.03 As 1.00 but with updated ageing error matrix from Chile (SC11-JM05) (NOT RUN)
1.04 As 1.00 but with proposed Chile CPUE index incorporating effort creep based on fisher interviews (SC11-JM06) (NOT RUN; comparison shown in SC11-JM06)
1.05 As 1.00 but with proposed Chile CPUE index from SC11-JM07
1.06 As 1.00 but with updated Peruvian weight-at-age data (run by Peru)
1.07 As 1.06 but with downweighted 2022 offshore CPUE index
1.08 As 1.07 but with Peruvian high seas catch allocated to the offshore fleet instead of fleet 3
  • Re-run 0.05-1.00 onwards with updated catch projections for Chile (80,466 t for Fleet 1 and 736,292 t for Fleet 2; Ignacio Paya 30/08/23) and Peru (210,000 t; Ana Alegre 01/09/23)
    • Thanks to Criscely and Josymar (Peru) for cross-checking and finding bugs
  • Acoustic Central South data obtained (Ignacio Paya 10/09/23)
  • Chilean updates to informed effort creep estimates sensitivity has already been done in SC11-JM06_corrected
  • Variable weight-at-age from Peru (thanks to Peru)
    • The mean-wight-at-age for the FarNorth fleet has not been updated since 2015, even though those data were reported. Peru indicated that these data do change over time due to annually-estimated weight-length parameters, albeit with minor variation.

6.1 Updating the Chilean Acoustic Central-South Survey

The Central-South Acoustic survey has not been updated since 2009, due to inconsistencies in survey timing and methodology in subsequent years (?). Since 2020, the survey has been conducted for three years- 2020, 2021, and 2023. During the JMWG Web Meeting in August this year (G128-2023), Chile requested that the SC consider including these updated data points in the assessment model. Two versions were proposed- one with just the data updated and a second with a break allowed in selectivity estimates (selectivity change penalty and catchability in 2019) to account for changes since 2009.

  • The 2020 data have not been submitted to the Jack Mackerel Data Repository
  • Should the weighting of the new data points (2020, 2021, and 2023) remain the same for the entire time series (historical series ending in 2009)?
    • Index CV is 0.3, compared to AcousN CV of 0.5
    • Age composition sample size 6.8 compared to AcousN 12.4 (Francis Weights from 2022 benchmark)

6.4 Downweighting the final year of the Offshore CPUE

6.5 Allocating Peruvian high seas catch to the offshore fleet

In 2023, the Peruvian fleet fished in the SPRFMO Convention Area, amounting to 20,056 tons of catch. The SC decided to incorporate those catches to Fleet 3 due to two factors, namely that 1) the fishery composition data were not separated by area, and 2) the fleet characteristics (e.g., gear) are that of the far-north fleet rather than that of the offshore fleet.
