Competency questions¶
Following the 2nd TCom Crete 15-17 June 2016, and calls with RAM and FishSource colleagues (June-July 2016), a list of competence queries has been drafted for testing purposes of the imported data sources and the processed GRSF records.
Imported records¶
Stocks
- Retrieve all imported stocks names and sources (RAM, FIRMS, FishSource)
- Retrieve all imported stocks names and sources by Type (Type= assessment unit / resource)
- Retrieve all available information for all fields
- Retrieve the most updated information on all fields (the most recent)
Fisheries
- Retrieve all imported fishery names and sources (RAM, FIRMS, FishSource)
- Retrieve all imported fishery names and sources by Type (Type of approach= Fishery Resource; Jurisdictional; Production System; Fishery Management Unit; Fishing Activity; Access Rights)
- Retrieve all available information for all fields
- Retrieve the most updated information on all fields (the most recent)
GRSF records¶
Traceability purpose
- Retrieve/Count/Download-Export all records flagged for traceability purposes
- Retrieve records according to the following parameters Species Name / Area / Management Entity / Production System Type / Flag State / Fishing Gear
Analysis of stock status
- Retrieve/Count/Download-Export all records according to the type (assessment unit, resource, fishing activity, ...)
- Retrieve all records for which a state and trend evaluation is available (e.g.: low biomass, high fishing mortality) - Qualitative values
- Retrieve all records for which abundance level/mortality is below/above a certain value (e.g.: >1) - Quantitative values
- Retrieve records according to a specific state and trend value (qualitative or quantitative) or a combination of two (one specific level of abundance and one of exploitation rate)
- Retrieve all records from a region (e.g. certain ocean) or by taxa/main groups (e.g.: all squids from a certain region)
- Retrieve all stocks for which a specific term is contained within the linked PDF document (e.g.: retrieve all stocks for which the word "hyperstability" is present in the pdf doc)
- Retrieve time series of values (resulting from subsequent updates of the record) for any of the time dependent fields for a particular stock
- Retrieve all stocks above trophic level "4" (linkages with fishbase)
- Retrieve stock status by management entity
Data management
- Retrieve/Count/Download-Export all GRSF stock records with names and sources
- Retrieve all records with names and sources according to Type (assessment unit, resource, fishing activity, ...)
- Retrieve all GRSF stock records with names and sources by Type
- Retrieve GRSF records grouped by similarities (e.g. same species similar areas, similar gear codes etc..)
- Retrieve all GRSF records by CMS status (rejected, pending, etc.)
- Retrieve all GRSF historical records for a given GRSF record (evolution of a GRSF record across time)
Examples of user oriented queries¶
Competency questions answer to the needs of specific user categories. The questions are related to multiple user categories, and each category builds on the previous one:
Natural resource managers
- What is the status of 'this' stock?
- Where is this stock?
- What is related to this stock (capture records, fleet, operations, predation, stock assessment, ...)
- What is the species distribution of this species?
- Print a stock report
- Which stocks in this EEZ / FAO area / Bounding box
- For a particular species, which fisheries is it a target? Bycatch?
Fisheries and environmental scientists
- What is the MSY for this stock
- What is the Biomass for this stock, and the historic one?
- How fast can it grow?
Biologists and taxonomists
- What is in a name (BioNym)
- What eats this fish, and what fish predates my stock-species?
- What is the LW relation?
Data managers
- Update an existing dataset with a new version of the entire dataset, with a future release data
- Update an existng dataset with a new version of a part of the dataset, with a future release data
- What is the reference metadataset for an entire dataset.
- What is the reference metadataset for a datapoint?
Information system developers
- Where is your api documented?
- Where are your endpoints, and how are these documented
- How can I add my own data?
GRSF Data coverage metrics¶
DATA SOURCES

STOCK STATUS INDICATORS AVAILABILITY
- List and count all stock records with associated stock status (i.e. abundance level and/or fishing pressure and/or abundance level (FIRMS standard) and/or fishing pressure (FIRMS standard) and/or FAO categories)
HOW UPDATED IS THE DATABASE
- List and count all stock records per reference year (i.e. latest year of the available data series)
- List and count all fishery records per reference year (i.e. latest year of the available data series)
