- Abstract
- The Technical Guidance aims to establish a systematic framework for generating, acquiring, and analyzing data using GIS in order to estimate the yield of fish and other aquatic animals (OAAs) from the Lower Mekong Basin. This approach, which is based on catch data from fishers, provides a novel method to determine the yield per unit of habitat area and extrapolate catch data from the Basin. By doing so, it offers increased certainty to all stakeholders involved in joint fisheries initiatives, particularly in transboundary areas, by clarifying roles and responsibilities. In addition, the document outlines quality control procedures for ensuring the reliability of the data, including fish catch verification, data validation, and method calibration.
