The workshop focuses on developing an analytical method to evaluate the benefits versus costs of data sets used to support stock assessment and fisheries management advice.
The work is focused on the following topics:
- proposing options and analytical methods for an objective framework to evaluate the benefits vs costs of data sets used to support stock assessment and fishery management advice
- identifying a range of stocks for detailed case studies, including those with full analytical age-based assessments and data-limited assessments, and contrasting stock status and biology
- making a proposal for a three-year project to develop a general methodological framework and open-source software to carry out cost-benefit analysis and provide proof of concept using the case study stocks.
