On July 21rst, the first part of red squid (jumbo squid) assessment workshop was telematically held at South Pacific Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO). Ignacio Payá from IFOP, presented a paper on the application of a state space model of surplus production in continuous time, known as SPiCT. This is the first exercise that integrates catch data and abundance indices (CPUE) of the fleets that fish in SPRFMO area and in the exclusive economic zones of Chile and Peru, which...
Abate Molina ship set sail to investigate it and when the scientific cruiser returns, it will have details.
