Some Initial Results in the Development of OMP‐18rev

The methodology and Operating Models (OMs, including implementation error and observation error) to be used to

simulation test OMP‐18rev have been fully specified in de Moor (2020a). In this document, some diagnostics are firstly

used as a check to ensure that future projections of the sardine and anchovy resources using these OMs are in line with

expectations, given what has been observed historically. Some initial results of candidate anchovy Harvest Control Rules

(HCRs) under multiple OMs are considered.
