Methods for predicting mean weight-at-age for four haddock ... stocks in the Northeast Atlantic were evaluated. Their performance in short-term forecasts of yield (catch in weight) was tested in a retrospective analysis conducted for a 12-year period ... For each year, the estimated yield was compared with the observed yield, both being conditional on the recorded catch numbers-at-age.

The stock assessment was characterised by considerable uncertainty associated with conflicting growth models and a range of plausible natural mortality estimates and sizes for full recruitment. In addition, there was conflict in the fitted index series, with the biomass indices generally showing little contrast while the mean weight at age series showed increases after a sharp initial drop.

CONT

L'évaluation du stock était caractérisée par une incertitude considérable concernant les modèles de croissance conflictuels et une variété d'estimations plausibles de la mortalité naturelle et de la taille pour un recrutement complet. En outre, la série d'indices adaptés contenait des incohérences; les indices de biomasse montraient généralement peu de contraste, tandis que le poids moyen selon la série sur l'âge indiquait des augmentations après un déclin initial abrupt.

Finally, some SUVs and pickups are so large (greater than 8,500 lbs. GVWR [gross vehicle weight rating]) that they do not qualify as "light trucks" under the current standards. These include the largest full-sized pickups and passenger vans, and larger models of the Ford Excursion and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs. However, EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] recently added the classification "medium-duty passenger vehicle" to include heavy passenger vehicles-passenger vans and SUVs up to 10,000 GVWR starting in MY2004. Heavy pickups and cargo vans will not be affected, since their main function is transporting cargo, as opposed to passengers. This change is only for emissions standards, and will not affect fuel economy standards.
