Summary: A workshop on spatial statistical techniques met for 4 days in Brest, France. The purpose was to evaluate statistical techniques
recently introduced in fisheries research for mapping and
assessing the resources after taking into account their spatial
dispersion patterns. A knowledge of the location of the sampling
units is required. These techniques present interesting
perspectives for optimising the sampling design during sampling
operations, for correcting possible biases in sampling schemes
that cannot be randomly designed, and for analyzing the spatial dispersion of marine organisms and understanding the factors that determine these dispersions.
