During the southern African sardine run countless sardines spawn in the cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move up South Africa’s east coast, creating a feeding frenzy. Sardines are just one of the fish that will be discussed at the annual International Stock Assessment Workshop.

The annual International Stock Assessment Workshop, funded by the National Research Foundation and the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, will be taking place at UCT from 27 November to 1 December.

The workshop will review aspects of the following species: South African hake, sardine, West Coast rock lobster, South Coast rock lobster and major linefish species.

This year, the four scientists who have been invited to comprise the international review panel are Sean Cox (Canada), Malcolm Haddon (Australia), Daniel Howell (Norway) and Andre Punt (USA).

While the discussions will be at a fairly high technical level, the international review panel will provide a summary of their recommendations, and will open for questions, on 1 December at 15:30 in room M304 of the UCT Mathematics Building.

If you wish to attend, please RSVP to Di Loureiro (and copy in Doug Butterworth and Candysse Vrancken) indicating the topics you would like to attend. This is not necessary if you will be attending the final Friday summary only.
