A review of integrated analysis in fisheries stock assessment

摘要: Abstract Limited data, and the requirement to provide science-based advice for exploited populations, have led development of statistical methods that combine several sources information into a single analysis. This approach, “integrated analysis”, was first formulated by Fournier Archibald in 1982. Contemporary use integrated analysis involves using all available as raw form appropriate, Analyses were traditionally carried out independently are now conducted simultaneously through likelihood functions include multiple data sources. For example, traditional converting catch-at-length catch-at-age an age-structured population dynamics models can be avoided including basic used this conversion, length-frequency conditional age-at-length function. allows consistency assumptions permits uncertainty associated with both propagated final model outputs, such catch limits under harvest control rules. The AD Model Builder software has greatly facilitated analyses, there general stock assessment (e.g., Stock Synthesis) allow many types analyzed simultaneously. In paper, we define analysis, describe its history development, give examples, advantages problems
