Order-Restricted Bayesian Estimation of the Age Composition of a Population of Atlantic Cod
大西洋鳕鱼种群年龄构成的序约束贝叶斯估计
The management of a commercial fishery often requires estimates of the age composition. These estimates are typically based on age and length data obtained from sampling the commercial landings from the fishery and the catches from a research vessel survey. We use data from annual research cruises of Georges Bank conducted by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans to show how inferences for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) can be improved. Traditionally, two-phase…
