Fishing Effort Analysis and Its Potential to Evaluate Stock Size

From: Reviews in Fisheries Science | Date: December 1, 2006| Author: Bordalo-Machado, Pedro | Copyright information

The analysis of fishing effort data has long occupied fisheries researchers in deriving appropriate indices of abundance for identifying changes in the size of fish populations. During the past 50 years, contributions in the scientific literature have dealt with the general theory and concepts relating catch-per-unit-effort with abundance. Up until recently, however, the spatial component of this relationship has largely been ignored. This article reviews the major advances in the analysis of...
