Recruitment Natural Deaths Unusable Stock Disease Growth Emigration Immigration Recruitment Natural Deaths Usable Stock Disease Growth Emigration Immigration Yields Dynamics of fish stock Fishing mortality=F Dr. Mala Supongpan
Can be controlled? R = Recruitment G = Growth M =Natural mortality F = Fishing mortality HOW? Dr. Mala Supongpan
Yield against effort CPUE against effort Analytical methods Holistic methods Dr. Mala Supongpan
The fish stock assessment needs: • Catches, Species and Sizes composition • Abundance • Biomass estimation • Analytical methods and Holistic methods • Parameter estimation (recruitment, growth, mortality-natural mortality, fishing mortality and total mortality) • Catch and effort data from statistic record (time series) • Population size and catchability • Using catch per unit effort to find original population size and catchability Dr. Mala Supongpan
Parameters for fish stock assessment 1. Length-weight 2. Growth parameter 3. Mortality And data on production Catch and effort, production and biomass Dr. Mala Supongpan
Modal Progression Analysis Dr. Mala Supongpan
For virgin stock or limited data 1. Estimation of initial population size and catchability coefficient from the fishing success to catch or effort Original population size (Roughly virgin stock size) Z=M+F Z=M+qf F=qf catchability Leslie’s method Cumulative catch+ DeLury’s method Cumulative effort+ Dr. Mala Supongpan
2. Estimation of Z using CPUE data 3. Natural mortality estimation When no fishing 4. Fishing mortality estimation F=Z-M Dr. Mala Supongpan
Estimation of total mortality (Z) 1. CPUE data 2. Catch curve based on length composition data 3. Cumulative catch curve based on length composition data 4. Beverton and Holt’s Z equation 5. Plot Z on effort 1. Estimate Z from CPUE data From above equations, then gives: * Dr. Mala Supongpan
Plot Z against effort to estimate F and M Z = M + q*f F = Z - M Dr. Mala Supongpan
Biomass estimation Dr. Mala Supongpan
Swept area to estimate biomass Dr. Mala Supongpan
Survey strata by depth Dr. Mala Supongpan
Sustainable yield estimation Virgin biomass For conservation, a- should be=0.3 ZB = (F+M)B and the catch Y = FB Dr. Mala Supongpan
Definition Catchability ( ): A fraction of a fish stock which is caught by a defined unit of the fishing effort. When the unit is small enough that it catches only a small part of the stock-0.01 or less-it can be used As an instantaneous rate in computating population change. Also called catchability coeffifient. Dr. Mala Supongpan
Availability: The fraction of a fish population which lives in regions where it is susceptible to fishing during a given fishing season. This fraction receives recruits from or become mingled with the non-available part of the stock at other seasons, or in other years. Dr. Mala Supongpan
Catch per unit of effort (CPUE): The catch of fish, in number or in weight, taken by a defined unit of fishing effort. Also called Catch per effort, fishing success, availability. Dr. Mala Supongpan
Biomass: The weight of a fish stock, or of some defined portion of it. Fishing effort: The total fishing gear in use for a specified period of time. When two or more kinds of gear are used, they must be adjusted to some standard type. Dr. Mala Supongpan
