The webinar is scheduled on 14 October 2020 at 14:00 CEST, it will focus on Fish, a matter of scales, the pilot demonstrator managed by the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the French National Research Institute and the Institute of Computer Science at FORTH.

The demonstrator will improve data management and analytic capabilities for fisheries by:

Expanding the Virtual Lab for the FAO Tuna Atlas (tuna and billfish catch data) into the Fisheries Atlas: a global vertically integrated toolset that will manage public fisheries statistical data from ingestion, through harmonization, to publication. The Atlas should have features for data analysis using state-of-the-art assessment models.

Expanding the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) Virtual Lab that will contain the results of approved status assessments of fisheries, including those from the Fisheries Atlas. GRSF is considered as the key instrument of global fish stock status monitoring and traceability and it aims to be the first global record with uniquely identified stocks and fisheries by consolidating content that exists in various sources.
