The main resources required for the project would be human (scientific) and computer resources. The scientific work of Phase 1 would be carried out largely through a contract to CLS to provide the planned modelling.

For Phase 2, a specialist three-year post at SPC would be required, as well as computer, travel and other support. For both phases, the SPC OFP would provide supporting scientific inputs, particularly in the areas of fishery data compilation for SEAPODYM models, model interpretation and publication.
