Description
Summary:Non age-structured production model analyses of North Atlantic swordfish have been used in addition to age structured virtual population analyses by ICCAT's SCRS to evaluate the status of the resource and to provide a basis for management advice. Production models require a standardized index of relative abundance in terms of biomass. The standardized biomass index
