As part of Mission 2011's overall solution, we think that to be able to know and track population size, normal age distribution, and predator/prey levels, electronic tags must be used. If the need arises to know biomass of a fishery, but does not need to be specific to a species, then SONAR can be used to find that information. We are working to develop an implementation of the tagging and surveying techniques that we have researched.
Our group will also be able to use GIS data and biomass estimates from ICES [http://www.ices.dk] and FAO [http://www.fao.org/fi/] to identify crashed stocks. We are working on analyzing our data to summarize which stocks are at dangerously low levels.
