1 For the next steps for the western skipjack MSE, the Group agreed to continue the work that has been already done and to revise the existing OMs to consider the current hypothesis of stock structure that should include data from all western fisheries, such as the Venezuelan and the US, in conformity with the stock structure used in the last western skipjack stock assessment. [...] Forrestal et al., 2021 aims at starting the second phase of the tropical tuna MSE by reviewing the main sources of uncertainty in the dynamics of tropical tuna fish and fisheries, including the uncertainty in the biological parameters of fish stocks, fishery exploitation patterns and information content of the data used in stock assessments. [...] The Group agreed that this faster process for the simpler MSE would help the dialog on Tropical tuna MSE between the Commission and the SCRS, thus benefitting the acceptance and support of the more complex Multi-stock tropical tuna MSE. [...] The Group agreed the earliest delivery of the multi-stock MSE, with candidate management procedures, to the Commission would be at the November 2024 meeting of the Commission. [...] The present document aims at starting the second phase of the tropical tuna MSE by reviewing the main sources of uncertainty in the dynamics of tropical tuna fish and fisheries, including the uncertainty in the biological parameters of fish stocks, fishery exploitation patterns and information content of the data used in stock assessments.
