Management plans for herring in ICES IIIa and adjacent areas; perceptions of stocks and fisheries |
Development of a scientifically based tool to predict the use of herring as a resource under various management scenarios, including a module optimising the strategy for the industry in terms of economical value of the resource. The project will develop, test and optimise a method for quantification and prediction of the spatial and temporal distribution of the various life stages of the major herring stocks concurrently with an inclusion of the dynamics of the herring fishing fleet. Thus ultimately the result will be a method which enables a prediction of the major herring stocks, their migration patterns and the corresponding scope for exploration of specific life stages under safe biological limits. This will give to a high degree facilitate self-administrative possibilities for the industry, optimising the outcome of a safe fishery.Aim
