Framework for the qualitative assessment of the dependability of catch data from existing fisheries monitoring tools.: Fs70-6/2019-004E-PDF

"Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is currently developing a national fishery monitoring policy to ensure that DFO has dependable, up-to-date, and accessible fishery information to manage fisheries sustainably. Meeting this objective is essential to the long-term sustainable management of fisheries and is an important step in increasing the public’s confidence in the government’s stewardship of public resources. It is proposed that during the implementation of this new policy there will be a risk assessment of individual fisheries in Canada. Part of the proposed risk assessment will be to review existing catch monitoring tools and the dependability of inferences on catch (retained and non-retained catch) that can be derived from the data collected by each tool as implemented in different fisheries. For these risk assessments to be nationally consistent, National Fisheries Policy requested a framework be developed to provide guidance on how different catch monitoring tools could be qualitatively assessed to determine the extent to which they provide data from which catches can be accurately and precisely inferred"--Context, page [1].
