Abstract Catch‐curve analyses are routinely used to estimate instantaneous mortality ( Z ) in fish, and as the age‐frequency data are often overdispersed, the application of a variance bias‐correction factor has been recommended. The extensions of the Poisson generalized linear model (GLM Poisson )...
