Combining sale records of landings and fishers knowledge for predicting métiers in a small-scale, multi-gear, multispecies fishery

by | Nov 19, 2017 | CERES publications, marine fisheries

We propose an approach for predicting the métier of any given fishing trip from its landing records.

Métier predictions produced with the proposed approach are closer to the actual uses of fishers, providing better grounds for an improved management.
