Appropriate management measures for small pelagic resources are formulated and implemented based on the comprehensive resource assessment. The ouputs inlcude: 1. Fundamental sets of information for effective acoustic survey are obtained 2. Survey planning/implementation and analysis of acoustic data are improved 3. Supplemental information is integrated for the resource assessment of the target species. 4. Analysis and assessment of the status of the target species are improved 5. Project outputs are shared by the national stakeholders and regional partners.
