Statistics, Indicators, Reference Points

Included here are papers dealing with the subjects of how indicators are used in deciding on management reference points, and in recovery plans. Also here is the first paper at NAFO on the traffic light approach, proposed initially as a way of assessing fisheries for invertebrateswhere age composition sampling as a basis for conventional finfish assessments is unavailable.
