How can we enhance data collection and assessment methodologies for priority
data-limited stocks?
Background
Fisheries are a vital part of Scotland's marine economy and cultural heritage, particularly in
coastal communities, and those beside the river network. Sustainable management of both
marine and freshwater fisheries is essential for ensuring long-term ecological, economic, and
social sustainability. This research area focuses on developing the evidence base needed to
support sustainable fisheries management including viable fish stocks, ecosystem integrity,
socio-economic sustainability of fishing communities in a changing environment.
