Stock and Risk Assessments of Two Seerfish Species (Scomberomorus guttatus and S. commerson) Resources (1950-2022) in the Southeast Asian Region using ASPIC 5 (Prager, 2004)
Abstract
The main objective of this work is to evaluate the current stock status and risk assessments (1950-2022) of two seerfish species, narrow-barred Spanish mackerel and Indo-Pacific king mackerel in Southeast Asian waters, i.e., Eastern Indian Ocean (Andaman Sea) and Western Pacific Ocean (South China Sea).
The nominal catch data were sourced from the Fisheries Refugia website, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) FishStat J, SEAFDEC Fishery Statistical Bulletin as well as from questionnaire responses and presentation slides by SWG-Neritic tunas country members during the 7th SWG-Neritic tunas meeting. In contrast, the CPUE data were exclusively derived from the questionnaire responses of SWG-Neritic tunas country members.
During the analysis, Microsoft Excel, ASPIC version 5 original software or ASPIC 5 (Prager, 2004), and R-language were used. The analysis was calculated manually to analyse the stock status and risk assessment of the two seerfish species.
Description
In December 2023, SEAFDEC/MFRDMD organized the Regional Training on Stocks and Risks Assessments for Two Seerfish Species in the Southeast Asian Waters in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. This training aims to expose ASEAN Member States (AMSs) and SEAFDEC staff to the manual calculation of ASPIC 5 and to identify the current stock status and risk assessment status of Scomberomorus guttatus and S. commerson in the South China Sea (Western Pacific Ocean, WPO) and Andaman Sea (Eastern Indian Ocean, EIO) in Southeast Asian Waters. In addition, MFRDMD also organized an internal training course among the project team in Cameron Highland, Malaysia, to revise and refine the output using a validated data set.
