A set of nine age-structured Operating Models is proposed for simulation testing of revised Decision Rules for Zone F. These nine models reflect all combinations of pre-exploitation spawning biomass of 2 000, 3 000 and 4 500 tonnes, and annual average poaching estimates of 75, 160, 250 and 350 tonnes that are consistent with the data.
