BACKGROUND At the SRB011, the members recommended/requested a series of actions to be taken by the IPHC Secretariat staff, as detailed in the SRB011 meeting report (IPHC-2017-SRB011-R) available from the IPHC website, and as provided in Appendix A. DISCUSSION During the 12th Session of the SRB (SRB012), efforts will be made to ensure that any recommendations/requests for action are carefully constructed so that each contains the following elements: 1) a specific action to be undertaken (deliverable); 2) clear responsibility for the action to be undertaken (such as the IPHC Staff or SRB officers); 3) a desired time frame for delivery of the action (such as by the next session of the SRB or by some other specified date). RECOMMENDATION/S That the SRB: 1) NOTE paper IPHC-2018-SRB012-03, which provided the SRB with an opportunity to consider the progress made during the inter-sessional period, in relation to the consolidated list of recommendations/requests arising from the previous SRB meeting (SRB011). 2) AGREE to consider and revise the actions as necessary, and to combine them with any new actions arising from SRB012. APPENDICES Appendix A: Update on actions arising from the 11th Session of the IPHC Scientific Review Board (SRB011) Page 1 of 5 IPHC-2018-SRB012-03 APPENDIX A Update on actions arising from the 11th Session of the IPHC Scientific Review Board (SRB011) RECOMMENDATIONS Action No. Description Update SRB11– Pacific halibut stock assessment (2017): Data Completed. Rec.01 source development (para. 14) The SRB RECOMMENDED continuing to down-weight terminal year fishery CPUE in the annual stock assessment because terminal and post-season CPUE may be substantially different. Generating and presenting the conditional distribution for post-season CPUE given terminal CPUE, should be undertaken as a way to improve communication about most recent fishery CPUE values.
