Testing various geostatistical models to combine bottom trawl catches and acoustic data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The aim of the CATEFA project is to combine information on demersal fish stock abundance from acoustic and bottom trawl surveys. While acoustic data are collected continuously while the research ship is underway, it is likely that combining two sources of information on the same variable should improve abundance estimation. A variety of geostatistical models are compared, contrasted and the output described. In this study, twenty scientific surveys from three areas (the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Barents Sea) are analysed. These 3 zones have diverse species assemblages and hydrographic environments. Nevertheless we manage to find models relevant to most of these different situations. Unfortunately, however, we show that this enhancement can increase the variance of the estimation because of the inherently high variability of acoustic recordings. The purpose of this paper is to compare the results of three geostatistical models (i.e. co-kriging, model with orthogonal residuals, kriging with external drift) in terms of precision, details of maps, variance local and global of the estimation’s errors and cross validation. The role of the acoustic in each model and the precision it brings, is then discussed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
