It will gather information for utilisation within a probabilistic assessment, management and advice model (PAMAM). This model enables management and assessment uncertainties to be evaluated. Develop a poor data fishery management model. Guidelines will be developed for assessment and management of fisheries for sustainability in data poor situations.
There are basically at least three types of data poor situations:
- Small-scale fisheries with usually several target species of other wise mixed fisheries (many coastal fisheries in Mediterranean and northern Baltic areas)
- Large scale, but recently developed fisheries (many deep sea fisheries belong to this group)
- Large scale fisheries, where the quality of data is getting worse (poor data due to e.g. misreporting and discarding)
This project will focus on each of these types, examining a number of case studies within each category. These case studies will have unique characteristics, allowing appropriate tools to be developed and modelled within a diverse range of examples."
