What I can do

If you want independent and fair scientific guidance on assessment and management of fish stocks, this is what I can do for you:

Working as a one-man business, I am available for assignments:

 

• of small and medium magnitude (up to a few man months),
• as stand-alone jobs or as participant in project teams
• at a reasonable price.

 

Main fields:

• Fish stock assessments:
  • Evaluate data, outline limitations and suggest improvements.
  • Advise on methodology
  • Perform assessments

 

• Management strategies:
  • Design and simulation testing of decision rules
  • Provide simulation software
  • Evaluate proposed rules with respect to performance and compatability with international standards

 

• Teaching and training in fish stock assessment and management advice
• Participation in, or chairing assessment teams and working/study groups
• Review of assessment and management plan evaluation work
• Advise on likely developments in stocks and fishing opportunities.

 

Key principles for my work:

• Fair, neutral, balanced
• Know what really matters and stick to essentials
• Know the limitations and find solutions
• Dialogue
• Get the job done.
