Sampling and Statistical Considerations for Hydroacoustic Surveys used in Estimating Abundance of Forage Fishes in Reservoirs
—An understanding of the spatial distribution of forage fish resources is required to make informed fishery management decisions. We used mobile hydroacoustics to assess the distribution and abundance of forage fish in Badin Lake, a reservoir in central North Carolina. By sampling a series of cross-channel and longitudinal transects and analyzing the data using geostatistics, we characterized b...
متن کاملEstimating animal abundance by distance sampling techniques
Reliable and repeatable methods for estimating animal abundance are fundamental to the effective study and management of New Zealand species. New Zealand scientists and conservation managers currently rely on measures of conspicuousness rather than density for indexing the sizes of many New Zealand animal populations. Distance sampling offers a group of methods which estimate the absolute densi...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Distance Sampling Techniques for Estimating Animal Abundance
Line transects have been widely applied for the estimation of animal abundance because they are regarded as simple, economical, and relatively precise. The recent development of automated techniques for the estimation of animal density from distance sampling data allows greater potential for ®eld biologists and wildlife managers to become involved in the analytical summary of their research. An...
متن کاملThe Application of Local Polynomial Regression to Survey Sampling Estimation
A new class of model-assisted estimators based on local polynomial regression is suggested. The estimators are weighted linear combinations of study variables, in which the weights are calibrated to known control totals. The es-timators are asymptotically design-unbiased and consistent under mild assumptions , and we provide a consistent estimator for the design mean squared error. Bandwidth se...
متن کاملLocal Polynomial Regression Estimators in Survey Sampling
Estimation of finite population totals in the presence of auxiliary information is considered. A class of estimators based on local polynomial regression is proposed. Like generalized regression estimators, these estimators are weighted linear combinations of study variables, in which the weights are calibrated to known control totals, but the assumptions on the superpopulation model are consid...
