Quantifying scientific uncertainty in estimating an appropriate catch level for a fish stock is challenging. Multiple sources of error can easily be identified, including measurement error that is conditioned on the adopted model, model specification error, forecast error, and uncertainty about overall stock productivity. In addition, there are without doubt other unknown factors that will nega...

The problem in the management of blue swimming crab (BSC) fisheries is a decrease stock that overlaps with an increase fishing activities. This study aimed to analyze ratio spawning potential (SPR), reproductive potential, and productivity BSCs taken from Spermonde Islands. Spawning was analyzed using SPR, while analysis used relative proportion data between female, berried female average fecun...
