Ae. Punt et al., Review of progress in the introduction of management strategy evaluation (MSE) approaches in Australia's South East Fishery, MAR FRESH R, 52(4), 2001, pp. 719-726
The MSE approach provides a simulation-based framework within which harvest
strategies, stock assessment methods, performance indicators and research
programmes can be compared. This approach has been used in the Australian S
outh East Fishery (SEF) to assess harvest strategies for the over-exploited
eastern gemfish resource and to compare different levels of discard monito
ring for blue grenadier. The main challenges to use of the MSE approach in
the SEF are poorly specified management objectives and the lack of quantita
tive stock assessments on which to build operating models for many of the s
pecies.
