Exploring reconfiguration of trends in CPUE to model sustainable TAC options for the pivotal YSLME anchovy fishery by Qingpeng Han, Xiujuan Shan, Xiujuan Shan, Xianshi Jin, Xianshi Jin, Harry Gorfine

“…The JABBA output based on the scientific survey biomass index indicated a 56.7% probability that the anchovy stock is currently healthy with 1.04 B2021/BMSY and 0.51 F2021/FMSY ratios, whereas JABBA estimates based on the nominal commercial CPUE-based were overly optimistic (100% probability stock was healthy). JABBA outputs based on the first two reconfigured CPUEs (Facpuey and FECcpuey) countered this overoptimism, with the survey biomass index-based assessment results lying between the extremes. …”

Contrasting stock status trends obtained from survey and fishery CPUE, taking Larimichthys polyactis in Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem as an example by Qingpeng Han, Xiujuan Shan, Xianshi Jin, Harry Gorfine

“…The independent survey CPUE-based JABBA showed a 54.4 % probability that the current resource status is over exploited (0.65 and 1.06 for B2020/BMSY and F2020/FMSY, respectively), whereas the fishery CPUE-based JABBA showed that the resource is in a healthy or recovering state (0.88–1.32 and 0.40–0.70 for B2020/BMSY and F2020/FMSY, respectively), and the estimates of the resource are overly optimistic. This discrepancy in biomass assessment arises because the fishing effort time series does not adequately reflect the technological advances in fishing vessels and their equipment. …”

Perpetual Peace or Eternal Peace? Kant, Leibniz, and the Dutch Innkeeper’s Sign by Marco Duichin
