Essays on Statistical and Modelling Methodology for Fisheries Management

A collection of six essays dealing with statistical and modelling methodology in fisheries management. Some of the essays are principally descriptive, but others are analytical and empirical, describing estimation and modeling techniques that are more advanced than those usually employed by the public agencies charged with responsibility for formulating fisheries policy. All of the essays contained in this volume are the result of an EU-funded research project called Innovative Integrated Bio-Economic Models for the Management of Multi-Species, Multi-Gear Fisheries.
