Updated 2024 Inaccessible island assessments

This paper provides updated assessments of the rock lobster resource at Inaccessible island. These assessments include updated data from the commercial fishery and biomass surveys. The assessments were last updated in 2021. These updated assessment models will function as the underlying baseline operating models in the development of a new 2024 OMP for Inaccessible for setting annual TACs. The updated Reference case assessment estimates current spawning biomass to be 90% of its pristine level.
