Description

Abstract: Accurate fish size measurements are important for understanding fishery management topics such as population size structure, growth rates, and biomass estimates. These topics are also important metrics for evaluating marine protected area (MPA) performance. Studies using stereo video fish length measurement techniques have been used to address some of these topics, such as tracking growth of juvenile Atlantic Cod (Elliot et al. 2016, 2017) and obtaining biomass estimates of Hake and Walleye Pollock (Boldt et al. 2018). However, MPA managers are only just beginning to use stereo video fish-sizing platforms (e.g., Walsh et al. 2017) to track long-term ecological changes in areas where fishing is restricted.
