Development of mathematical and statistical models (both for prediction and estimation) to support natural resource management. I give scientific advice on fishery resources and provide quantitative auditing of management performance. I have a special interest in developing an understanding of the mechanisms that are key to the sustainability of fisheries. I have worked for 25 years on research devoted to the assessment and management of tropical fisheries worldwide (Oceania, Asia, Latin America and Africa) and my research has been instrumental in the development of major management changes (fishing closures, fleet capacity reductions) in several fisheries. Presently, I am doing work in the assessment of tuna, billfish and reef-fish fisheries in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. I have current collaborative research links with scientists in fishery Institutions all around the world.
