Synopsis (short abstract) This paper reviews the approaches being undertaken in national and international institutions on general statistical data quality issues, plus attention to the information focus required for the sustainable conduct of appropriate fisheries management for sustainable fish stock use. It outlines an approach to initial implementation of some elements of the “Strategy for improving information on status and trends of capture fisheries and the code of conduct for responsible fisheries”. In particular , it addresses the Strategy’s call for improved data quality, which has provisions concerning criteria and methods for ensuring information quality and security, including the issue of ‘applicable confidentiality. It also outlines the basis for developing an understanding of the cost-effectiveness of improved statistical projects and programmes in supporting improved fisheries science and better management.
