ICES 2001 Annual Science Conference
24 September 2001 - 24 September 2001
The ICES (international council for the exploration of the sea) 2001 annual science conference from 26 to 29 September 2001 and the 89th statutory meeting from 24 September to 3 October 2001 in Oslo, Norway, will cover 'the response of cephalopod populations and fisheries to changing environment and ecosystems (session K)'
'As traditional fish stocks decrease due to overfishing and/or environmental change, cephalopods have become very important substitute harvest species, and their landings are increasing in the ICES region (North Atlantic) and world-wide,' say representatives from for the event. 'These short life history stocks, which show substantial environmentally determined fluctuation, are therefore subject to increasing fishing mortality worldwide.'
This session aims to:
- document the trends in cephalopod fisheries and abundance;
- relate these to the effects of environmental change, fishing mortality, and ecological change;
- assess the implications for management.
The session will emphasise the analysis of fisheries trends using standard and new analytical tools, e.g. structural time-series models capable of handling missing values, non-stationary series, and multivariate data, and able to identify common trends and species-environment relationships.
The session will develop the following themes, identified at the 1998 ICES theme session on the 'impact of cephalopods in the food chain, and their interaction with the environment:
- documentation of temporal (interannual) trends in cephalopod fisheries and abundance;
- explanation of these trends in terms of environmental and ecological changes;
- application of standard and new analytical tools for analysing cephalopod trends, including structural (state-space) and time series models.
However, submission on related topics will also be welcome. Contributions of papers would be welcomed.
