A Bayesian approach to estimating Atlantic salmon fry densities using a rapid sampling technique
Removal sampling by electric fishing is widely used for assessing fish population size. As it is manpower consuming, less-demanding techniques have been proposed to increase the number of sites covered with the same human resources. These techniques essentially provide relative abundance measures. T...

Removal sampling by electric fishing is widely used for assessing fish population size. As it is manpower consuming, less-demanding techniques have been proposed to increase the number of sites covered with the same human resources.

Here, hierarchical Bayesian modelling framework is used for this inter-calibration because it allows an estimate of absolute abundance from abundance index data alone while accounting for the main sources of uncertainty. It is applied to a 0+ juvenile Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. data set from 21 sites on the River Faughan, Northern Ireland.
