One way to think <strong>of</strong> fisheries science is that it's like a machine that runs on data. All you<br />
have to do is plug lots <strong>of</strong> good quality data into one end and you'll get good, reliable<br />
answers out o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Simple right? Not really. If you want your fisheries science to be useful you have to first<br />
make sure you're asking <strong>the</strong> right questions. Then you've got to have enough data to work<br />
with - bearing in mind that not all data are created equal. Once you've got that right you<br />
need a good way to evaluate your answers so that when you ask <strong>the</strong> question ‘how many<br />
fish can I take out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> water?' you get results you can use.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> this has to be achieved away from <strong>the</strong> ordered cleanliness <strong>of</strong> a laboratory in <strong>the</strong> real<br />
world <strong>of</strong> budget constraints, time restrictions, and pressures <strong>for</strong> answers.<br />
That's one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reasons it was such a big deal when, in 2009, scientists from around <strong>the</strong><br />
world rated New Zealand as <strong>the</strong> best in <strong>the</strong> world at fisheries management - it's hard.<br />

‘Unaccounted Mortality’ - a definition<br />
ICES Study Group on Unaccounted Mortality in Fisheries (1995<br />
& 1997) defined fishing mortality (F) as:<br />
F = F c + F b + F d + F e + F g + F o + F a + F h + F p + F i<br />
where: Fc = Landed Catch<br />
Fb = Illegal & Misreported Catch<br />
Fd = Discarded Catch<br />
Fe = Escape Mortality<br />
Fg = Ghost Mortality<br />
Fo = Drop out Mortality<br />
Fa = Avoidance Mortality<br />
Fh = Habitat Degradation Mortality<br />
Fp = Predation mortality<br />
Fi = Infection mortality.<br />
