Variations in maturity of haddock in the Barents Sea in relation to year-class strength, age, size, sex and area
Data from the Norwegian Barents Sea bottom trawl surveys in February from 1985 through 1996 are used to analyse variations in haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus L.) maturity. Several link functions to estimate maturity ogives are compared. Due to the clustering of samples, both the goodness of fit an...
