the present study considered the situation of kilka stocks in last decades by using overfished biomass threshold, fishing effort ratio and fishing mortality proxy during 1991-2010. the cpue index of anchovy and mixed-species of kilka indicated an undepleted from 1991 to 2000. in 2000, the cpue ratio declined to close to the “in danger” region, and subsequently collapsed to “overfished” region f...

This paper describes a software based receiver post processor that corrects circularity and gain errors in coherent receivers. The receiver post processor additionally provides range gating capabilities, signal quality estimation, mixer non-linearity detection and various display functions. This paper will concentrate primarily on the identification of circularity errors by the receiver post pr...
