Explanatory Note

The following documents may help in discussions at the workshop on appropriate reference points for jack mackerel. They include a general paper from the FAO on the development and use of reference points and examples from Australia and New Zealand of how reference points have been used in the application of harvest strategies. It is not intended that the workshop discuss or propose specific reference points for jack mackerel, but it would be useful to examine the types of indices that could be derived from different assessment approaches and that would be useful for characterising the status of stocks of jack mackerel.
