The Center for the Advancement of Population Assessment Methodology (CAPAM): A perspective on the first 10 years

January 15, 2025

The Center for the Advancement of Population Assessment Methodology (CAPAM) was established in 2013, envisioned as an institute that could conduct, organize, and communicate stock assessment research with the aim of benefiting fisheries assessment efforts internationally. CAPAM’s activities have focused on its workshop series and consequent special issues in Fisheries Research. The information generated through CAPAM and its permanent recording as journal articles has greatly benefited the stock assessment community and can potentially contribute to modelling in general. We discuss what has made CAPAM successful, its future, and what could be done to reach the ultimate goal of producing a good practices guide for fisheries stock assessment.
