The existing MP is slightly adjusted (one survey replaced and survey weights adjusted), and then retuned to meet the updated recovery target of median exploitable biomass equal to Bmsy by 2044 for the Base Case SCAA operating model. This requires a downward adjustment of 3.7% to the existing MP formula for the TAC. This target is generally closely achieved across a wide range of robustness tests agreed at the January 2024 Scientific Council meeting.
