Over recent years the assessment has tended to somewhat underestimate M. paradoxus and somewhat overestimate M. capensis spawning biomass. There are no obvious retrospective patterns in recruitment estimates, though recent recruitment for both species was appreciably overestimated for the assessment when ended in 2012.
