This contribution presents the detailed responses to the peer-review of Froese et al. (2019) "Estimating stock status from relative abundance and resilience" (ICES J. Mar. Sci. 2019) which outlined a method called "AMSY" for inferring biomass trends for stocks for which only catch-per-unit-effort and limited ancillary ('priors') data are available. The responses emphasize that the required priors are legitimate and straightforward to obtain, thus, making AMSY a method of choice in data-sparse situations. This is also a good example of the role of peer-review in validating and improving science.
