Indice d'abondance. Mesure quantitative de la densité ou de l’abondance du poisson, généralement exprimée en séries temporelles. Un indice d’abondance peut être spécifique d’une zone ou d’un segment de la population (par exemple, les grands poissons) ou désigner l’abondance au niveau du stock; il peut indiquer l’abondance en nombre ou en poids (biomasse). La plupart des indices d’abondance qui sont utilisés d’habitude par le SCRS [Comité permanent pour la recherche et les statistiques] sont fondés sur des données de CPUE [captures par unité d'effort] standardisée, même si on a également utilisé certains indices d’abondance, indépendants des pêcheries, qui se fondent sur des études scientifiques. Les indices d’abondance sont généralement exprimés en unités relatives (contrairement aux mesures de l’abondance absolue) et indiquent simplement les changements relatifs qui affectent l’abondance dans le temps. 1, record 4, French, - indice%20d%27abondance

The change in the reserves to production ratio for a given field, over a period of time, is a fair guide to the likely lifespan of the field and its rate of future production, for the R/P ratio cannot fall below about ten without an imminent drop in production. R/P ratios of 20-30 are considered high, though there are fields in the Middle East where the figure exceeds 100. 2, record 6, English, - reserves%20to%20production%20ratio
