There are many fish stocks in Canada and elsewhere that do not have annual ageing programs, or any age information.
Improving our understanding and progress in the development of data-moderate state-space stock assessment models (SSAMs) is an important step to extend SSAMs beyond data-rich age-based approaches.
This workshop will focus on the best possible stock assessment models for these cases.
Objectives
The purpose of this four day workshop is to review current scientific information regarding the development and application of data-moderate SSAMs (e.g., little or no age data).
Workshop format
- This is an in-person development workshop at Memorial University.
- It is not a training workshop, although talks will be recorded and made available upon request, with the approval of presenters.
Invited speakers (tentative)
- Anders Nielsen, National Institute of Aquatic Resources, Denmark
- Fan Zhang, College of Marine Science, Shanghai Ocean University, China
- Daniel Howell, Institute of Marine Research, Norway
- Giancarlo Correa, AZTI, Spain
Registration
