Abstract

Commentary: Stock Status Assessments for 12 Exploited Fishery Species in the Tsushima Warm Current Region, Southwest Japan and East China, Using the CMSY and BSM Methods

Highlights

  • East Asia is a major contributor to worldwide marine food production, the stock status of fisheries resources in the region is not well-known partly because of limited data availability for stock assessment

  • We show the inappropriate data use by WA2020, which resulted in misunderstanding historical trends of the stocks, and discuss the potential bias of data-limited methods

  • If the purpose of WA2020 is to evaluate the reliability of estimated maximum sustainable yield (MSY) reference points, the MSY reference points estimated by BSM without using the “true” data from Virtual Population Analysis (VPA) should be compared with those based on age-structured models, as described by Ichinokawa et al (2017)
