Reducing uncertainty in fisheries stock status

The Reducing Uncertainty in Stock Status (RUSS) project was part of an expanded research programme to classify Commonwealth-managed species that were classified as uncertain. This report presents a series of stock assessments that were undertaken for species and species groups, particularly in smaller and lower-value Commonwealth fisheries during the RUSS project. A weight-of-evidence framework for determining stock status from a structured review of scientific evidence and interpretation of indicators is also presented.

种群状态不确定性消减（Reducing Uncertainty in Stock Status, RUSS）项目是一项扩展研究计划的组成部分，该计划旨在对被归类为状态不明的英联邦管辖物种进行分类。本报告呈现了RUSS项目实施期间针对各类物种及物种类群（尤其聚焦于规模较小、经济价值偏低的英联邦管辖渔业）开展的一系列种群评估工作，同时还提出了一套通过系统性科学证据综述与指标解读来判定种群状态的证据权重分析框架。
