Report of the Working Group on Biological Parameters (WGBIOP)

This was the second interim year for the multi-annual Terms of References (ToRs) for the Working Group on Biological Parameters (WGBIOP). ToRs a and b further ex-plored the best practice of achieving quality assured assessments of new and existing biological parameters for both single-and integrated stock assessment. ToRs c, d and f were the generic ToRs for the group handling the reviewing of calibration exercises on biological parameters, their outcomes and recommendations for such actions, including a continuous development of tools for calibrations.
