Fisheries Management Decisions with Limited Resources and Data.

Abstract

This document aims to draw attention to the importance of small-scale fisheries and the need for information-based management; raise awareness about ParFish, a new methodology for carrying out stock assessments in small-scale fisheries that does not rely on long-term data, involves fishers in the assessment and promotes co-management and outlines recommendations for managers, policy makers, scientists and facilitators, to improve information-based management decisions for small-scale fisheries. This document is aimed at fisheries decision-makers, scientists, managers and facilitators, including government and nongovernment organisations.
