FRSG

Securing a sufficient and sustainable supply of seafood from wild-capture fisheries relies on the effective development and management of these fisheries based on scientific evidence.

The Fisheries Resources Steering Group (FRSG) is responsible for guiding and supporting expert groups that are working on advisory-related and science topics contributing to the management of wild-capture fisheries.

Topics covered include:

single-species and multi-species stock assessment, including data-limited methods.
management strategy evaluations, addressing uncertainty, and improving the transparency, robustness, efficiency and repeatability of stock assessment
operationalisation of ecosystem-based fishery management and maximum sustainable yield concepts and their application in mixed, multispecies and emerging fisheries
fisheries spatial dynamics, mixed fishery interactions and responses to management measures
