The use of images and videos, when accompanied by appropriate statistical analyses of the inferred data, is of increasing importance for estimating the abundance of species and their age distributions. NOAA Fisheries is actively seeking to improve the quality and reliability of data from still and stereo-video imagery, and, more generally, to automate more of the stock assessment process.

... Based on that input, the commit tee will organize a workshop that will feature invited presentations and discussions involving participants from diverse fields to address the following topics: • Identify promising directions for advancing NMFS's analytical capabilities for the tasks listed above, including opportunities to leverage capabilities from other fields. • Share perspectives about the most efficient path toward more automation of fisheries stock assessments, identifying goals that might be achieved through 3-5 years of mod est R&D investment and goals that should be considered longer term.
