Brief update on progress of the hake cannibalism/predation model

An update to the hake cannibalism model (MARAM/IWS/DEC14/Hake/P8) was presented to the panel of experts at the MARAM/DAFF International Stock Assessment Workshop, December 2014 (IWS 2014). On the whole, the panel were impressed with the progress that had been made and noted that while fits to trend data were not as good as the Rademeyer fits, they were by no means bad fits in terms of fisheries standards.
