Fisheries Stock Assessment -- Title XII Collaborative Research Support Program: Continuation Proposal Amendment
This document is an amendment to the Fisheries Stock Assessment Title XII Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) Continuation Proposal, May, 1989. The JCARD/BIFAD review committee suggested that the CRSP revise its work plans and budgets to a request for $704,000 per year rather than the initial request of 845,000 for a three year extension of the program (July 1, 1990 - June 30, 1993). The CRSP then underwent a restructuring of its research agenda during July and August, 1989. The restructuring plan maintains the integrity of the research program with its central focus on developing improved methodologies for stock assessment and management of small-scale multispecies tropical marine capture fisheries. The limited budget required eliminating numerous special studies which could improve the overall product, but which are not essential to the principal thrust of developing the CRSP's final deliverable product, the CRSP Stock Assessment Manual.
