IMPROVING FISH STOCK ASSESSMENTS
Committee on Fish Stock Assessment Methods, Ocean Studies Board, Commission on Geosciences, Environment, and
Resources National Research Council, NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS
Pages: 194
Publisher: --
Edition: 1998
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0309057256
Description
Global marine fish harvest has plateaued and many important commercial stocks have been depleted. The Ocean Studies Board (OSB), at the request of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), has provided advice designed to improve management of marine fisheries in the United States (NRC, 1994a).
Following the publication of that report, there was a widespread expression of the need for reviews of several other specific stock assessments. NMFS responded by requesting a broad review of the methods used in the United States for stock assessments. The results of that review are presented in this report.
This study would not have been possible without the efforts of NMFS scientists who carried out blind runs of data provided by the study committee and participated in the committee’s meetings. The cooperation between academic and agency scientists was commendable and actually led to advances in the state of the art of fish stock assessments.
