Description
Under the landing obligation part of the catch that was previously discarded is now brought ashore. Sampling of these BMS (Below Minimum Size) landings should be carried out according to statistically sound methods, assuring unbiased results. In order to design a sampling framework estimates of expected BMS landings were produced. A flexible tool was made so that estimations of discards per species under different scenarios of the landing obligation can be calculated. Based on this estimations a theoretical sampling framework for monitoring the BMS under the Landing Obligation was designed. This sampling framework holds the same methodology as the current market sampling because it is expected that this BMS fraction of the catch will also be landed in the fish auctions.
