Description

Province-wide fisheries management strategies must rely on the basic building block of assessments of the status of individual stocks of fish. For fisheries management strategies and plans to be consistent across Alberta, fish stock assessments must be comparable between stocks, areas and time. To achieve this objective, a standardized process of assessment, called the Fish Sustainability Index (FSI) has been developed. While the FSI is an innovative tool developed to support Alberta fisheries management, users must also understand the limitations to the data presented in assessments. These limitations are outlined in this publication.

Description

The Alberta Fish Sustainability Index (FSI) is a standardized process that brings consistency to individual stock assessments province-wide. This level of evaluation allows for a landscape-level assessment and broad temporal comparisons of fish sustainability and status. Further, it assists in planning fisheries management priorities and actions. Diligently following the above outlined generic rule set and revising it when necessary, will allow for provincially reliable and scientifically defensible fish stock assessments.
