Report of the Inter-Benchmark Protocol on New Species (Turbot and Sea bass) IBPNew 2012

Inter-Benchmark Workshop on NEW species (IBPNEW) met in Copenhagen (Denmark) from 1–5 October 2012 to perform a benchmark assessment on the stocks of turbot and sea bass. All the terms of reference were addressed. In hindsight, the five days that were available for this workshop were too short. Although most work regarding the ToRs was finished before the end of the workshop, large parts of the report still needed to be finished at the end of the meeting, and this caused considerable delay in the delivery of the final report.
