Description Assessment of exploited fish stocks and the associated fishery is
essential for evolving appropriate fishery management plans and policies.
Fishery resources assessment is integrated into the research framework
of CMFRI and is one of the major mandates of the Institute. The Institute
has attuned its research objectives in consonance with development of
marine fisheries during different phases of growth in marine fisheries.
Concomitant with the growth of marine fisheries in India, there has been
progressive refinement in stock assessment of exploited resources. The
outputs from the assessments formed significant inputs to fisheries
governance and policy making. A stock assessment process includes the
collection of fishery data comprising the catch and effort, estimation of
intermediary parameters such as the growth and mortality, estimation of
performance indicators and ultimately the management reference points
that would facilitate fisheries management. Stock assessment in India,
owing to the multi-species and multi-gear nature of the fishery, has evolved
differently, yet closely related to the research efforts in the fisheries in
the different parts of the world and is based on the region specific
approaches developed by the scientists of the Institute. The statistical
support system for resource assessment was built on scientific principles
of data collection. The Institute has also kept pace with the revolutionary
progress in information technology through periodic upgrading of
computing facilities and software skills. This paper overviews the progress
of research in resource assessment and its support systems.
