Objective
The overall objective of the project is to improve the methodology for determining limit reference points for the biomass of exploited fish stocks.
Limit reference points set boundaries which are intended to constrain harvesting within safe biological limits, and are integral components of the decision making process in fisheries management. In most cases limits are currently estimated from historical time series data on spawing biomass and recruitment. However, the underlying stock-recruitment relationship is often purely defined by such data and hence there is considerable uncertainty around many reference limits. This project will produce an operational scheme for refining these data by integrating biological, spatial and temporal information on the stock, with the aim of reducing the uncertainty associated with biological limits. The methodology will be developed for cod and haddock stocks around Iceland, Norway and in the North Sea as case studies.
The project targets one of the major topics currently being discussed in management procedures related to the precautionary approach. The project follows a very promising new approach, focusing in the incorporation of maternal, spatial and temporal effects on the effective reproductive output of the spawning stock, as well as the survival and growth of larvae.
