Assessment of Norway lobster - Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758) populations in the Adriatic Sea using alternative methods

Following the negative changes both in the population stock biomass and dmeographic structure of Norway lobster population in the Adriatic Sea special consideration should be given to the exploitation of this species. Since it is one of the most important commercial species exploted by the large fisheries fleet of all Adriatic countries, primary goal of fisheries scientist is to provide recommendations for sustainable exploitation of Norway lobster based on scientific conclusions. Use of the UWTV methodology together with trawl surveys in the future would allow systematic assessment of the Norway lobster stocks and contribute to identification and monitoring of year-to-year variation in biomass and size composition.
