The basic scope is to standardise data collection and to harmonise the various approaches in use. The guide is mainly concerned with North Pacific populations, but people working in the Atlantic will find very useful information. For a wider audience, however, we can regret that works and approaches developed in the East Coast of Canada are generally ignored.
