Bayesian assessment of Northeast Atlantic spurdog using a stock production model, with prior for intrinsic population growth rate set by demographic methods
Schaefer-model stock assessments can be imprecise when they are fitted to catch rate data (CPUE) because a large, unproductive stock can often explain CPUE trends as well as a small, productive one. However, consideration of life-history characteristics can improve parameter estimates by constrainin...
