State of fisheries in Catalonia 2023, Part 2: Stock assessment

This report presents the stock assessment results obtained by ICATMAR. For the data-resource limited (length-based) model (i.e. LBSPR), the data used corresponds to the continuous monitoring from ICATMAR in Catalonia (North GSA6). For the surplus production model (i.e. SPiCT), the report also uses official data from the Data Collection Framework (DCF), the EU fleet register and the Spanish Government from the whole GSA6.
