Despite its economical importance, no analytical assessments leading to fisheries advice have been carried out so far and consequently, turbot is not managed in any part of the North East Atlantic. The reason for this is twofold: (1) the available information is inadequate for a detailed evaluation of stock trends; (2) the relatively low numbers of turbot in commercial catches, as well as the high commercial value of this species, make it very difficult to collect data on biological variables in sufficient numbers for a meaningful analysis. However, assessing the stock status of turbot is an important and pressing task, as the upcoming 2011-Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ICES and the EU requires advice on North Sea turbot from 2011 onwards. This study will model the available survey data from 1993-2008 for turbot in ICES-division VIIa (Irish Sea) and VIIf and VIIg (Celtic Sea) by means of Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). The results point to a slight increase in population numbers of turbot over the study period. However, these results should be interpreted with much care as scarcity of the data as well as intrinsic uncertainties of the model have to be acknowledged. The model predicts a high concentration of turbot individuals in the Bristol Channel, situated south of Wales, which is a well-known nursery ground for sole (Solea solea L.). Previously recognized ecological patterns, such as the relationship between length and depth, are confirmed by our results. At present, performing stock assessments for turbot by means of traditional analytical techniques (such as VPA) is being hampered by the lack of extended time series of catch-at-age data. However, it is feasible to generate relevant insights in population dynamics using more flexible statistical approaches such as GAMs. Improvements in stock assessments can certainly be achieved by implementing enhanced statistical analysis and models, but more attention should be given to improving the quality of the data by re-evaluating current survey designs and addressing fundamental ecological questions for which answers are still lacking.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"M","StandardTitle":"Modelling available data of turbot (<i>Psetta maxima</i>) in the Irish and Celtic Seas: A first step towards sustainable management?","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":null,"MonPub":2011,"DateUpdate":"2011-10-18","DateCreate":"2011-10-18","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":null,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":null,"monrec":{"MonID":208591,"ISBN":null,"PubliDate":2011,"IssueDate":null,"Volume":null,"Issue":null,"Pagination":"53","Place":"Gent","Edition":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerID":null,"SerRR":null,"Ser2BRefID":null,"Ser2RR":null,"StandardTitleSer":null,"ISSN":null,"AbbrevSer":null,"Degree":"MSc","ThesisID":208591,"InsID":9744,"Acronym":"EMBC+","FullStandardName":"Universiteit Gent; Faculteit Wetenschappen; Vakgroep Biologie; Afdeling Mariene Biologie; Erasmus Mundus MSC in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation","ToPubliDate":null,"SerNotes":null,"eISBN":null,"Pages":53},"serrec":null,"relations":null,"relationsRev":null,"addrec":null,"othpubs":null,"ownerships":null,"authors":[{"AutName":"Van Bogaert","Firstname":"Noémi","Initials":"N.","Affiliation":null,"Discriminator":null,"CorporateFlag":0,"BEntID":200581,"AutID":133604,"OrderNr":1,"DegrID":null,"EditorFlag":0,"CorrespFlag":0,"IllustratorFlag":0,"ReviserFlag":0,"TranslatorFlag":0,"InsAcronym":null,"InsFSN":null,"ORCID":"0000-0001-9405-0727","PersID":27737,"InsID":null}],"mapdetails":null,"datasets":null,"monographs":null,"monparts":null,"serparts":null,"BEntOpen":null,"BEntPrivate":null,"availability":[{"BInstID":227053,"LibID":36,"BRefID":208591,"EmbargoDate":null,"FullEmbargoDate":null,"PhysMedID":16,"hasOCRd":1,"ShelfLocCode":"227053","RFID":null,"PaidValue":null,"Medium":"Server","Description":"Interne VLIZ documenten","Acronym":"VLIZ","Library":"Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee","DutchTerm":"Non-open access","URL":null,"ClassifID":228,"Classification":"Non-open access","ReqLink":1,"ClassifTypID":3,"URLLocation":"https://www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/","SubDir":1,"InternalReq":1,"LoggedInReq":1,"Disclaimer":"Disclaimer_VLIZ_Intern","DutchDisclaimer":"<p>Deze publicatie is enkel beschikbaar voor persoonlijk gebruik binnen de Innovocean site <br />en mag op geen enkele manier verder worden verspreid.</p>","FileFormat":".pdf","FileDescr":"pdf","InsPub":1,"InsID":36,"FileFormID":6,"LendableFlag":1,"PublicFlag":1,"orderLib":"A","Notes":null,"AccConID":null,"AccessConstraint":null,"LicURL":null}],"litstyles":[{"LitStyID":7,"Style":"Dissertation"}],"thespers":[{"PersID":7754,"Surname":"Rabaut","Firstname":"Marijn","Initials":"M.","Role":"Promotor"},{"PersID":15887,"Surname":"Torreele","Firstname":"Els","Initials":"E.","Role":"Co-promotor"},{"PersID":25165,"Surname":"Poos","Firstname":"Jan Jaap","Initials":"J.J.","Role":"Promotor"},{"PersID":12057,"Surname":"Moreau","Firstname":"Kelle","Initials":"K.","Role":"Promotor"},{"PersID":19188,"Surname":"Vandamme","Firstname":"Sara","Initials":"S.","Role":"Promotor"}],"arch2discl":null,"SERpubls":null,"MONpubls":null,"pictures":[],"thestermsPath":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, Celtic Sea","ThestID":181920,"Acronym":"ASFA_GEOT","ThesTermPath":"ANE, Celtic Sea"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, Irish Sea","ThestID":182082,"Acronym":"ASFA_GEOT","ThesTermPath":"ANE, Irish Sea"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Fisheries management","ThestID":3220,"Acronym":"ASFA","ThesTermPath":"Fisheries management"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Modelling","ThestID":5269,"Acronym":"ASFA","ThesTermPath":"Modelling"}],"thestermsASFA":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, Celtic Sea"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, Irish Sea"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Modelling"}],"taxtermsASFA":[{"TaxTerm":"Psetta maxima (Linnaeus, 1758)"}],"geotermsASFA":[{"GeoTerm":"Celtic Sea"},{"GeoTerm":"Irish Sea and St. George's Channel"}],"collections":null,"conf":null,"proj":null,"Physdatasets":null,"spcols":{"5":{"SpName":"Belgian theses on marine topics","SpColID":5,"ParSpColID":396,"TopParID":396,"ShortName":"Belgian marine theses","URLLocation":null,"LibID":null,"OpenRepoFlag":0,"SpTypID":null,"TopParIDNotWebsite":396,"SpColPath":"vliz:biblio/Belgian marine theses"},"222":{"SpName":"BMB -
