Abstract: The primary goal of data collection on exploited fish stocks is to enable the development of credible stock assessments. Ideally, enough information will be collected to enable management strategy evaluations on the stock, providing guidance on future management decisions. In many fisheries management agencies, however, the ability to rapidly and cost-effectively build and run models to evaluate management strategies is as much an impediment to their development as the lack of data.
