    Brief

    Cefas and Defra are seeking statistical modelling and methodological expertise to enhance mixed fisheries assessment and forecasting approaches. The successful supplier will develop improved methods for integrating data-limited fish stocks into mixed fisheries models, supporting evidence-based sustainable fisheries management. Key deliverables include: developing analytical code, creating robust statistical approaches for handling limited data scenarios, and contributing findings to peer-reviewed scientific publications. This work is critical for helping UK fisheries management address real-world challenges where comprehensive data is unavailable for all stock species.
