It might be good to republish the entire data set to avoid any undetected issues.
In example today I was preparing a ppt and I used the GRSF while I noticed that for whatever reason this record has been flagged as marine resource instead of assessment unit and I do not know why http://data.d4science.org/ctlg/GRSF_Admin/ee1d7967-6da2-3d8a-88d5-c6adcf9576e6 (maybe because there is no stock status values? but there is some text for that and stockstatusentry...)

Practically, if we update a record it will have the same effect with republishing it.
As regards your comment about http://data.d4science.org/ctlg/GRSF_Admin/ee1d7967-6da2-3d8a-88d5-c6adcf9576e6, we will investigate it and if necessary open a new ticket for that.

@aureliano.gentile@fao.org As regards the record http://data.d4science.org/ctlg/GRSF_Admin/ee1d7967-6da2-3d8a-88d5-c6adcf9576e6 that appeared having type marine resources, I checked it and this happens because there are no time-series attached with this record.

As described in https://support.d4science.org/projects/stocksandfisherieskb/wiki/GRSF_database_overview a stock is an Assessment unit whenever a stock assessment is conducted. Let me know if this includes information about the state and trend of a record (as happens with this case), so that I will update the records accordingly.

Thanks, I confirm the overall requirement https://support.d4science.org/projects/stocksandfisherieskb/wiki/GRSF_database_overview#GRFS-Information-domains :

• Types for stock: 1) "Assessment unit", whenever a stock assessment is conducted; 2) "Marine Resource", when there is no stock assessment available.

And to that we need criteria for the implementation although it is not always straight forward to design such logic. There are cases where even if no assessment has been ever conducted there are other evidence that it is an assessment unit. Dentex dentex Northern Tunisia https://bluebridge.d4science.org/group/grsf_admin/data-catalogue?path=/dataset/ee1d7967-6da2-3d8a-88d5-c6adcf9576e6 is an example and it needs to be treated as an Assessment Unit. This is deducted from the status trend text also in absence of time series of stock status indicators:

In the North (GSA 12), the yield by recruit value is below the optimal level; the stock seems to be under-exploited. The exploitation profile in the eastern region (GSA 13) is in optimal conditions. [Data Owner: GFCM, DB Source: FIRMS] [Ref. Year: 2006]

So, maybe this is something which so far needs to be treated case by case. In the future we may have better rules or data.
In conclusion, thanks for the investigation, and the record type needs to be changed. Also, we can do it while approving and reviewing records.

Thank you for the answer. So I will update the type of the record. Would you like to do it for all the records that face a similar situation (i.e. there are no time-series but they do have a status trend indicator) ?

One clarification: if the record has status trend indicators then it is an Assessment Unit by default. These status indicators can be multiples across time hence the notion of time series. So, the presence of time series of abundance/mortality (Abundance Level (FIRMS Standard) ; Abundance Level ; Fishing Pressure (FIRMS Standard) ; Fishing Pressure) activate the Type "assessment unit".
The presence of the "State and Trend" could be added as criteria (to facilitate our life), then some of those can be reverted to marine resource if not correct. But please note that "State and Trend" is a narrative text, not an "indicator" per se. We had a discussion with CNR on this section which is not readable through the interface (text too long within the cell).

In conclusion, before apply the changes, would it be possible to understand how many are with no S&T indicators but do have "State and Trend" so I can review them and see if it make sense to change as assessment unit or not? With thanks

Thanks, I'll review. Actually with the title next to the URL it would be much easier for me to spot which are assessment units. (But please ignore if too long or complex)
I.e. http://data.d4science.org/ctlg/GRSF_Admin/378a26e6-a871-3dcb-bdb1-3de95873d89b is Smalleye smoothhound - Coastal areas of Trinidad and Tobago and indeed it is an assessment unit.

Finally, I do not think the list should include the legacy records, but only the GRSF records.
