Report on the final Anchovy Total Allowabe Catch for 2021

As the adoption of the anchovy‐only OMP‐18rev has been delayed by the Small Pelagic Technical Task Team, the formulae to be used to recommend the final directed anchovy TAC for 2021 is to correspond to the Interim OMP 18rev used to recommend the initial directed anchovy TAC for 2021 (de Moor 2021) which was based on results towards the development of a joint sardine‐anchovy OMP. The formulae, together with associated parameter values and input data are detailed in the Appendix. The recommended TAC is constrained by the maximum TAC of 350 000t.
