Generalized additive models (GAMs) are used to model spatial variation in egg density and increase the precision of biomass estimates from the daily egg production method. Application of GAMs to survey data from the western mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) stocks...
