Pros and Cons • Performance of CUSUM was found to be consistent with traditional traffic light approach • CUSUM charts as real time monitoring technique for qualitative stock assessments • Efficient to detect persistent changes in the system • A handy monitoring tool for data limited fisheries • Stabilize the catch - Objective • Delayed signals occur for quick changes in the system • Delayed signals might happen when recruitment to the fishery occurs before maturity
