Estimating Fishing Mortality, Natural Mortality, and Selectivity Using Recoveries from Tagging Young Fish
—Current methods for estimation of ageand year-specific instantaneous mortality rates based on multiyear, multiple-age tagging studies assume that it is feasible to tag fish in a wide range of ages. For some species, however, only the youngest one or two age-classes are readily available for tagging. Given the practical advantages of tagging young fish only, an important question is whether suc...
متن کاملEstimating reference fishing mortality rates from noisy spawner-recruit data
We review and evaluate methods of estimating reference fishing mortality rates from spawner-recruit (SR) data to obtain maximum sustainable yield. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we found that a reference fishing mortality rate derived from the maximum likelihood estimates of the SR parameters was less biased than reference fishing mortality rates obtained using the mode of the marginal probabil...
متن کاملModelling fishing-induced adaptations and consequences for natural mortality
When trade-offs involving predation and mortality are perturbed by human activities, behaviour and life histories are expected to change, with consequences for natural mortality rates. We present a general life history model for fish in which three common relationships link natural mortality to life history traits and behaviour. First, survival increases with body size. Second, survival decline...
متن کاملEstimating limits for natural human embryo mortality
Natural human embryonic mortality is generally considered to be high. Values of 70% and higher are widely cited. However, it is difficult to determine accurately owing to an absence of direct data quantifying embryo loss between fertilisation and implantation. The best available data for quantifying pregnancy loss come from three published prospective studies (Wilcox, Zinaman and Wang) with dai...
متن کاملESTIMATING INFANT AND CHILD MORTALITY IN IRAN, 1989
This paper presents estimates of infant and child mortality in the rural and urban areas of Iran for 1989. Data are from a one percent sample of the urban and rural population. The study makes use of data on the number of children born alive and children surviving, classified by age of the mother. Based on these data estimates of infant and child mortality for the urban and the rural areas...
