Develop MSY reference points or proxies across the spectrum of data-limited stocks.

Simulation Framework, as a number of data-limited methods already exist implement a common framework to compare their performance

Diagnostics to assess sensitivity to assumptions and bias.

Management Strategy Evaluation to ensure robustness to uncertainty

Reference Points

Reference Points

Population Growth Rate

Mean age at virgin and \(F_{MSY}\), and \(L_{opt}\)

Species

Stock trends

Selection pattern

Fishing Mortality

Safety

• Probability of avoiding limits

Status

• Probability of achieving targets, recovery and long-term

Yield

• MSY

Variability

• Annual variability in yield

Index Relative to Reference

Trend in Index

Risk

An uncertainty that matters, what matters are management objectives

Management Procedures

Consider the data along with the assumptions, estimator and management and feedback between the various elements

Value of infomation

Models are cheap, but data is expensive

Diagnostics

Compare across species, stocks, fisheries and advice rules
