Report of the Study Group on Life Histories of Nephrops

The Study Group on Life Histories of Nephrops is the renamed Study Group on the Life Histories and Assessment Methods for Nephrops established in 1991. The original group last met in November 1993 and a report of the meeting was presented at the 1994 Annual Science Conference (ICES, 1994). The report dealt with a range of both biological and assessment issues and listed a series of recommendations for areas of future work. The recommendations on future biological studies were taken as the TORs for the new Study Group, thus reflecting the change of emphasis in its role.
