The stock assessment model’s estimate of fishable (legal-size) lobster biomass in your region — the abundance CPUE stands proxy for, and the base the total allowable catch is set from each year.
Modelled legal-size biomass, not raw catch rate, is the fishery’s most reliable abundance measure; east-coast rebuilding zones target 20% of unfished biomass, achieved or on track across several areas.
IMAS Tas Fisheries ↗Biomass is the number that ultimately governs your quota: as regional stocks rebuild toward their targets, catch limits and catch rates can rise. Following it region by region tells you where the fishery is strengthening and where rebuilding constraints will keep quota tight.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Fish within regional limits so rebuilding stays on track.
Return berried and undersize animals carefully to aid recruitment.
Support fishery-independent surveys with accurate catch reporting.
