Abstract:
Recent failures of important fish stocks give mathematical models a poor reputation as tools for fishery management. This paper examines the role of models in fish stock assessment and identifies reasons why they can fail. Starting with laws of arithmetic, models attempt to relate observed data to unknown quantities, such as the stock biomass and abundance. Typically, the number of unknowns greatly exceeds the number of observations, and models must impose hypothetical constraints to give useful estimates. We use the word "fishmetic" (rhymes with arithmetic) to represent uncertainty in the con

Abstract:
Abstract The current fish stock assessment process in Europe can be very resource- and time-intensive. The scientists involved require a very particular set of skills, acquired over their career, drawing from biology, ecology, statistics, mathematical modelling, oceanography, fishery policy, and computing. There is a particular focus on producing a single “best” stock assessment model, but as fishery science advances, there are clear needs to address a range of hypotheses and uncertainties, from large-scale issues such as climate change to specific ones, such as high observation error on young

Abstract This paper describes the results of a short-term experiment using measurements of sv from the diel, spatial, clupeoid distribution in the southern Baltic. The aim of the experiment was to verify fish-behaviour characteristics measured over the period from 1995 to 2001. It was also intended to estimate the dynamics of fish behaviour over one separate diel cycle. The studies were based on a 24 h continuous integration of fish echoes using an EY500 echosounder at 38 kHz. Measurements were carried out by RV “Baltica” travelling along the sides of a square of 4 nautical miles at a constant

Abstract:
Abstract Fisheries management is mainly conducted via single-stock assessment models assuming that fish stocks do not interact, except through assumed natural mortalities. Currently, the main alternative is complex ecosystem models which require extensive data, are difficult to calibrate, and have long run times. We propose a simple alternative. In three case studies each with two stocks, we improve the single-stock models, as measured by Akaike information criterion, by adding correlation in the cohort survival. To limit the number of parameters, the correlations are parameterized through the

Abstract:
Fisheries stock assessments sometimes prove, in retrospect, to be wrong. Errors may be due to poor model assumptions or to data that do not reflect the biological process of interest. We develop a method that formally admits the possibility of such errors. Likelihood functions derived from this method indicate greater uncertainty in parameter values than conventional likelihoods, whose derivations presume that models correctly describe the observed data. The problem of uncertainty is particularly acute when more than one data source is available and different data sets provide contradictory pa

Abstract:
Excessively high rates of fishing mortality have led to rapid declines of several commercially important fish stocks. To harvest fish stocks sustainably, fisheries management requires accurate information about population dynamics, but the generation of this information, known as fisheries stock assessment, traditionally relies on conservative and rather narrowly data-driven modelling approaches. To improve the information available for fisheries management, there is a demand to increase the biological realism of stock-assessment practices and to better incorporate the available biological kno

Abstract The World Conference on Stock Assessment Methods (July 2013) included a workshop on testing assessment methods through simulations. The exercise was made up of two steps applied to datasets from 14 representative fish stocks from around the world. Step 1 involved applying stock assessments to datasets with varying degrees of effort dedicated to optimizing fit. Step 2 was applied to a subset of the stocks and involved characteristics of given model fits being used to generate pseudo-data with error. These pseudo-data were then provided to assessment modellers and fits to the pseudo-dat

In fisheries, advice for the management of fish populations is based upon management quantities that are estimated by stock assessment models. Fisheries stock assessment is a process in which data collected from a fish population are used to generate a model which enables the effects of fishing on a stock to be quantified. This study determined the effects of various data sources, assumptions, error scenarios and sample sizes on the accuracy with which the age-structured production model and the Schaefer model (assessment models) were able to estimate key management quantities for a fish resou

Abstract:
The statistical assessment of harvested fish populations, such as the Atlantic-Iberian sardine (AIS) stock, needs to deal with uncertainties inherent in fisheries systems. Uncertainties arising from sampling errors and stochasticity in stock dynamics must be incorporated in stock assessment models so that management decisions are based on realistic evaluation of the uncertainty about the status of the stock. The main goal of this study is to develop a stock assessment framework that accounts for some of the uncertainties associated with the AIS stock that are currently not integrated into stoc

This study is an attempt to simulate aspects of human visual perception by automating the detection of specific types of objects in digital images. The success of the methods attempted here was measured by how well results of experiments corresponded to what a typical human’s assessment of the data might be. The subject of the study was images of live fish taken underwater by digital video or digital still cameras. It is desirable to be able to automate the processing of such data for efficient stock assessment for fisheries management. In this study some well known statistical pattern classif

Statistical modeling has evolved around building increasingly more complex models, even though it is common knowledge among statisticians that an optimal model size usually exists for any given data set. Having overly complex models leads to imprecise parameter estimates and tends to increase the subjective role of the modeler, which can distort the perceived characteristics of the system under investigation. One approach for controlling the tendency of contemporary models to increase in complexity and subjectivity is to use model selection criteria that account for these factors. The initial

Amberjack management in the South Atlantic is illustrative of the debate of whether you do what you can with what you have versus not doing anything until you have good information.

<em>Abstract.</em>—The abyssal grenadier <em>Coryphaenoides armatus </em>(Hector 1875), family Macrouridae, is a benthopelagic deep-sea species with a depth range of 282–5,180 m, with most observations and captures at depths of 2,500 m and deeper. It is one of the most abundant grenadier species in the world’s oceans but is absent from the Mediterranean Sea, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean north of 45°S, and has not yet been recorded from the Southern Ocean south of the Antarctic Polar Front. Typical total lengths range from 20 to 80 cm and the maximum recorded is 102 cm. Dietary items include mesopelagic fishes and cephalopods, and benthic items such as crustaceans and bivalves. The abyssal grenadier is well documented as an opportunistic scavenger and this propensity has been used to attract individuals to bait within view of submersibles and underwater camera systems to make <em>in situ </em>observations of behavior. Baited cameras have been in use to observe deep-sea scavengers since the late 1960s, with the first confirmed observation of the abyssal grenadier in 1971. More recently, baited photographic autonomous landers have been used to gain data on respiration rates, size frequency, and swimming velocity. In addition, models have been developed and refined to estimate local densities and to quantify the number of fish present at a food fall and their staying time at bait. This ultimately means that baited-camera-derived abundance estimates can be produced, and that the numbers of scavenging grenadiers and how long they remain at a small food fall can be linked to the productivity of the overlying surface waters.
