Modelling hake cannibalism and inter-species predation: Comments from the 2016 International Stock Assessment Workshop, progress to date, and pending work

Two separate hake cannibalism and inter-species predation models were presented to and discussed at the 2016 International Stock Assessment Workshop (IWS2016) held at UCT in December last year. These two models will be referred to as the OLRAC model (OLRAC 2016) and the MARAM model (Ross-Gillespie and Butterworth 2016). Fourie et al. (2016) details the differences and similarities between the two models, both in terms of model structure and results.
