Estimation of minimum relative abundance values of endangered large whales in areas with low survey effort off the Northeast Atlantic States
Kenney, R.
University of Rhode Island
The objective of this study is to derive minimum values for SPUE cells where values are currently estimated at 0 based on limited survey effort. The minimum values will: (1) be based on the available data, (2) not be purely arbitrary, (3) better address the weaknesses pointed out above, and (4) provide a more accurate reflection of entanglement risks and conservation benefits of proposed management actions in waters off the Northeastern United States.
The final report is available from the Commission upon request.
