Marine Ecosystem Studies

Fisheries managers need to rely on the best available scientific advice to ensure that fish stock exploitation levels remain sustainable over the long term.

With our in-house team of fisheries and marine ecosystem scientists, CLS Fisheries is unique among technology providers. We conduct studies for RFMOs, governments, and international institutions such as the European Union that are essential for estimating fishing impacts or deciding on quota levels and restricted zones.

With this key information, the right decisions can be taken to ensure the long-term survival of marine resources, the fishing industry, and the Blue Economy.

Make the Best Decisions

Test multiple fishing effort scenarios to set the right quota/TAC
Analyze in near real-time the impact of current fishing levels on stocks
Test and predict the effects of climate change on fish stocks
Forecast fish population dynamics for the next 20 years
Know where juveniles and adults are located to define restricted fishing zones
Reduce bycatch: locate endangered species such as turtles and dolphins to define restricted fishing zones
Historical studies of fish populations
