Optimising the review of electronic monitoring information for management of commercial fisheries.

ABSTRACT: Electronic monitoring (EM) systems incorporating cameras and other devices can collect a broad range of data to support fisheries management. We reviewed the data collection capabilities of EM and considered approaches to increasing efficiency, including cost effectiveness, of EM review. EM can provide information on catch, effort, catch handling, bycatch mitigation, fishing gear and operational data, which are relevant for fisheries management including by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs). Methods to increase efficiency and decrease costs of EM review apply from the programme design phase, through data collection and review. At review, costs may be reduced by sampling imagery optimally to meet monitoring objectives. Considering RFMOs as users of EM-collected information
