Mixed stock analysis (MSA) - a tool for proper management in fisheries
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
For natural environment, it is crucial to develop a fishery management plan, outlining conservation and restoration measures. From this point of view, if the fishery is managed as a single unit (stock), there is a huge potential of overfishing of the less abundant population. In order to achieve population levels that support harvests or to protect a particular vulnerable population from anthropogenic pressure, the uses of genetic markers information have been proposed in fishery management. Mixed stock analysis uses genetic markers information in several source populations and in a single mixture population to estimate proportional contribution of each source to the mixed population.
