Definition

Catch per unit effort. CPUE standardizes fish catch data based on the amount of the effort (total time or area sampled) exerted.

Fishery stock. A subpopulation of a particular species in a given area. Unlike a fish population, a stock is defined as much by management concerns (such as jurisdictional boundaries or harvesting location) as by biology. There are three different types of stocks: commercial (exploited) species, unexploited species, and protected species. Stocks are not restricted to just fish, but also include marine mammals and invertebrates.

Fisheries stock assessment. An estimate of either the total population or total biomass of a fisheries stock. Stock assessments are a crucial component of fisheries management.

Fisheries management. The protection and management of fishery stocks to maintain sustainable exploitation for commercial species, and to recover the populations of protected and endangered species.

Fisheries oceanography. The study of oceanic...
