Report of the Workshop on the Development of Assessments based on LIFE history traits and Exploitation Characteristics (WKLIFE)

The assessment of stocks with either limited knowledge about their biology or lack of data about their exploitation levels has become increasingly problematic for ICES.  Cognisant of this weakness in the current ICES’ advice, this workshop was convened by ACOM to investigate the feasibility of developing a methodology for providing assessments and advice on data deficient stocks.
