On a Proposed Stock Assessment Method and its Application at the International Whaling Commission
The Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has engaged in considerable debate over various methods of assessment for the Bering-Chuckchi-Beaufort Seas stock of bowhead whales. At the 1996 meeting of the Committee, it was proposed that a method developed by Restrepo et al....
