Blast from the past: a brief summary on the past studies for bottom fish stocks in the Emperor Seamounts area
Although scientists worked on bottom fish stocks in the Emperor Seamounts area have applied several approaches of stock assessments, most of them were not successful in specifying the way to exploit those stocks sustainably. We summarize the past attempts and related studies, in order to recognize the difficulties which hindered those attempts and to gain a foothold for further approaches. It is also intended to be useful as a guide to the related literature.
