Relative efficiency of fishing gears and investigation of resource availability in tropical demersal scalefish fisheries (NDSF)

Assessments for sustainable management of tropical multi-species demersal finfish fisheries rely primarily on industry catch records. These essential catch based assessments rely heavily on assumptions about the catchability of the individual species relative to the fishing gear used. In the NDSF,...
