Download FAR 2015/27 Review of data-poor assessment methods for New Zealand fisheries

There is growing interest from fisheries stakeholders in methods to assess New Zealand fish stocks with low levels of data. This qualitative review gives an overview of data-poor methods in use internationally. I have noted the types of data required for each method, summarised the assumptions required, and, where appropriate, linked to examples of their use. In addition, I have commented on the potential utility of each method in New Zealand.
