Can spatial fishery-dependent data be used to determine abalone stock status in a spatially structured fishery?

Abalone stock status assessment is intrinsically difficult because the stocks are typically spatially structured, utilise small vessels, target sedentary species, and are prone to serial depletion. Larval dispersal in the blacklip abalone Haliotis rubra is highly localised adding an additional...
