- The stock assessment theory of relativity: deconstructing the term “data-limited” fisheries into components and guiding principles to support the science of fisheries management

Constraint scores for fishery attributes associated with data availability and resourcing (top row) and associated recommendation scores for alternative fishery guidance options (bottom row). The constraint scores, ranging from 0 (no concern or constraint) to 3 (high concern or constraint), are used to illustrate differences among (hypothetical) extreme cases, i.e., fisheries with, a no data or resources, b data and resource rich, c no data and resource rich, and d data rich and no resources. recommendation scores, ranging from 0 (no focus) to 3 (high focus), for the guidance options associated with data, assessment and governance, availability, and resourcing, for the (hypothetical) extreme cases of e no data or resources, f data and resource rich, g no data and resource rich, and h data rich and no resources
