Type: Journal Article
Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...
Time recovery for exploited fish populations based on surplus yield models
Type: Journal Article
A new method to estimate the time recovery of exploited population based on M.B. Schaefer's theory is proposed. The parameters used as follows: current population size (alphaP sub( infinity )'), target population level ...
