a4a short research project - Stock assessment and multi-fleet forecast methods for some Mediterranean stocks

摘要

Under the scope of the a4a Initiative, the JRC is promoting cooperative activities between fisheries scientists with the aim to test, disseminate and promote a4a methods. These Small Research Projects (SRP) are focus on comparing the results of assessments from other models to assessments obtained from the a4a statistical catch-at-age model, and explore research questions using case studies. The Workshop dedicated to the Mediterranean took place in Ispra, Italy, the 23rd to the 27th of June. The main objectives were to compare assessment models and develop multi-fleet forecasts methodologies. These can be applied in the context of ex-ante/ex- post evaluations of multi-annual plans, performed by STECF in order to provide scientific advice to the European Commission.
