Fishery-independent estimate of spawning biomass of Southern Bluefin Tuna through identification of close-kin using genetic markers

The SBT assessment is subject to a number of uncertainties which complicate management and hence the likelihood of stock rebuilding. The current assessment indicates that spawning stock is heavily depleted relative to its unexploited state. The level of depletion is uncertain; for example, CCSBT SC9...
