Generalised additive models (GAMs) were applied to survey data to assess the influence of dissolved oxygen, water temperature and year of sampling upon the presence/absence of small (≤15 cm TL), medium (16–34 cm TL) and large (≥35 cm TL) size classes of deepwater Cape hake Merluccius paradoxus captu...
