  7. Some advantages of FMSP software • Clear focus on uncertainty - confidence intervals assist adoption of precautionary approach and FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries • Non-equilibrium fitting methods in CEDA, and good diagnostic tools • Inclusion of stock-recruit relationships in Yield improves realism of YPR approach • Bayesian ParFish and empirical approaches designed for co-management arrangements
