Further 2018 west coast rock lobster assessment and associated biomass projections results

This document provides results requested at the WCRL SWG meeting on Friday 24 August. First negative log-likelihoods are provided for the base case and two sensitivity poaching scenario assessment model fits. Then results are provided for a two-step TAC reduction programme for the BC poaching scenario, ranging from zero TAC (maximum recovery) projection to a scenario where the resource is at its 2006 target level by 2030 (sustainable but no recovery). Appendix 1 provides summary results for similar one- and three-step TAC reduction programmes
