Statistically Classified Marine Epifaunal Bioregions on the Southern Benguela Margin, South Africa
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Marine bioregional maps underpin management and conservation planning. Data‐driven maps based on robust statistical analyses that include uncertainty are new to the marine realm as more data becomes available. The use of Regions of Common Profile models on epifauna data from the Southern Benguela margin distinguished five bioregions related to low ...

Corrected Reference Case for the South African hake resource
, 2016 An error in the way the sex-disaggregated catch-at-length data were taken into account in the likelihood in the September RC is corrected. This makes little difference to recruitment estimates and abundance trends, but in terms of the spawning biomass at MSY, M. paradoxus is estimated to be seven percentage points lower and M.

, 2022 An initial update of the Reference Case for the hake assessment is developed using the data available to date. This update is used to explore projections under OMP2014 and some variants thereof, with results compared to those at the time that this OMP was selected. Recent poor recruitments for both M. paradoxus and M.
