Abstract

Sustainable fisheries management relies heavily on accurate stock assessments to inform decisions such as setting catch limits, implementing conservation measures, and ensuring the long-term health of marine ecosystems. Traditional stock assessment methods often require extensive data, which is not always available, particularly for small-scale, artisanal, or newly developed fisheries. Unlike well-monitored fisheries, where robust datasets enable precise evaluations, data-limited fisheries require innovative methodologies to determine the status of fish stocks.
