Past surveys: Re-analysis to check biomass differences • Toapplydifferent TS equations in pastacoustic data fromeacharea and to compare theresultingabundanceestimates. • Biomass estimates (tons)based on: • The TS already applied. • Sardine: -72.6, Anchovy: -71.2 (HCMR) • Sardine: -70.51, Anchovy: -75.3 (CNR- SICILY)
