A Bayesian stock assessment incorporating discards estimates in some years
We develop a Bayesian age-structured stock assessment model that takes into account the information available about discards and is able to handle gaps in the time series of discards estimates. The mechanism for doing this is to explicitly incorporate a term in the model reflecting mortality due to...
