The performances of a revised Candidate Management Procedure, named CMPts, is compared for the final SCAA and corresponding SSM Reference Set of trials. For virtually all these trials, the SSM OMs give more optimistic results than the corresponding SCAA OMs, with higher final depletion (though slightly lower average catches). This is expected, as (with one exception) the SSM trials do not have recruitment reducing as spawning biomass drops to low levels.
