Analysis of how growth, natural mortality, and fishing interact to determine the best size of animals at which to start fishing them, and the most appropriate level of fishing mortality. The yield-per-recruit models do not consider the possibility of changes in recruitment (and reproductive capacity) due to change in stock size. They also do not deal with environmental impacts.
Industry:Fishing
An evaluation of the likely outcomes and impacts of a specific policy or regulation on a designated target group or groups, as well as likely ripple effects to other groups.
Industry:Fishing
A proportion or a segment of a fish stock that is removed for study, and is assumed to be representative of the whole. The greater the effort, in terms of both numbers and magnitude of the samples, the greater the confidence that the information obtained is a true reflection of the status of a stock (level of abundance in terms of numbers or weight, age composition, etc. ).
Industry:Fishing
A formal statistical approach in which expert knowledge or beliefs are analyzed together with data. Bayesian methods make explicit use of probability for quantifying uncertainty. Bayesian methods are particularly useful for making decision analyses.
Industry:Fishing
An analysis used to reconstruct the population history of long-lived fish stocks. They provide an estimate of the current "exploitable biomass" (the part of the population that can be fished), upon which the harvest rate is based.
Industry:Fishing
A large stern trawler equipped with plant for gutting, filleting, freezing and storing fish, and for processing fish oil and fishmeal. Such vessels usually have extensive superstructures.

Congress defined EFH as "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" (16 U. S. C. 1802(10)). The EFH guidelines under 50 CFR 600. 10 further interpret the EFH definition as follows: Waters include aquatic areas and their associated physical, chemical, and biological properties that are used by fish and may include aquatic areas historically used by fish where appropriate; substrate includes sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying the waters, and associated biological communities; necessary means the habitat required to support a sustainable fishery and the managed species' contribution to a healthy ecosystem; and "spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" covers a species' full life cycle.
Industry:Fishing
1. In a particular sector (e.g. fisheries), a continuing process through which governments, institutions, and stakeholders of the sector and of other interacting sectors elaborate and adopt appropriate policies, plans, and management strategies to ensure sustainable and responsible resource utilization. In the process, conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and cooperative action may be taken; 2. The formal and informal arrangements, institutions, and mores which determine how resources or an environment are utilized, how problems and opportunities are evaluated and analyzed, what behavior is deemed acceptable or forbidden, and what rules and sanctions are applied to affect the pattern of resource and environmental use.
Industry:Fishing
A tag that detaches itself from an animal after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since tagging. After detachment, the tag sends a signal via satellite, providing its position and downloading any other available information (if the pop-up tag is also an archival one). This technology does not rely on the recapturing/reporting of tagged individuals to recover the information.
Industry:Fishing
1. The level of welfare that a person gets from consuming a good or undertaking an activity; 2. In economics, the measure of the degree of satisfaction or happiness of a person.
