Routine Work

OLRAC routinely deals with:
- All modern quantitative stock assessment tools (Bayesian assessments, surplus production modeling, size based mathematical models, age structured production models and mark-recapture based assessment procedures)
- Exploration of the quantitative implications of management decisions using a set of highly evolved mathematical modeling techniques including development tools for Operational Management Procedures.
- Multivariate statistical analyses.
- Development of new mathematical and statistical methods and computer software when existing techniques are insufficient or non-existent.
- Fishing gear studies and the design, supervision and execution of experimental field studies and stock assessment surveys.
- Bio-economic appraisals of fisheries in the context of the scientific paradigms underlying their management.
- The development of fisheries databases, which combine commercial and scientific information.
- Environmental impact assessment of competing users of the marine environment.
