CPU Series for the West Greenland Shrimp Fishery by

Series of annual average CPU values are considered a usable index of stock biomass. They are usually obtained by analysis of variance of the log. of the catch:effort ratio, controlling for the effect of nuisance variables such as fleet composition and the time of year when, or the area in which, the...

Description
Summary:Series of annual average CPU values are considered a usable index of stock biomass. They are usually obtained by analysis of variance of the log. of the catch:effort ratio, controlling for the effect of nuisance variables such as fleet composition and the time of year when, or the area in which, the effort was applied. A standard (but not inevitable) tool for such analyses is SAS PROC GLM. Such series are used in assessing the stock of northern shrimp in West
