See recommendations from panel.

Alternative movement scenarios that have been mentioned include (a) age-specific and (b) fixed movement coefficients, e.g. from Seapodym.

The tagging data will be processed in the way Matt did, enforcing a minimum number of days at liberty.

Larger regions may require longer tag mixing periods.

CPUE scenarios that can be considered include (a) viable habitats and (b) spatially disaggregated. We'll communicate our explorations and findings with Mark Maunder.

Fisheries can be combined or separated and selectivity parameters can be shared.

Regional structures to consider are 1, 4, 8, and 9 regions.
