Advanced fish stock assessment models

越来越多的消费者希望购买可持续捕捞的鱼类-这意味着渔业不会影响未来渔业的健康。虽然很难决定一个渔业是否可持续，但联合国粮食及农业组织（粮农组织）和其他组织已经制定了详细的标准来帮助评估这一点。在加拿大，许多渔业向国际海洋管理理事会（海安会）申请认证，该理事会是一个参与制定可持续捕捞方法标准并认证渔业符合这些标准的主要组织。MSC认证的鱼类可以为捕捞者带来更好的市场准入和更高的价格，从而实现可持续和更有利可图的长期渔业。

Increasingly consumers want to buy fish that is caught sustainably - meaning that the fishery is not affecting the health of future fisheries. Although it can be difficult to decide if a fishery is sustainable, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and other organizations have developed detailed standards to help assess this. In Canada many fisheries have pursued certification with the International Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which is a major organization involved in setting standards for sustainable fishing practices and certifying that fisheries meet these standards. MSC certified fish can result in better market access and improved prices to harvesters, leading to sustainable and more profitable fisheries in the long-term.
