Author:Mori, Mitsuyo; Kitakado, Toshihide; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2006The ADAPT-VPA assessment methodology originally developed by Butterworth et al. (1999) has been greatly improved by taking into account various comments made during a series of IWC-SC meetings and is applied here to abundance estimates (from ...Read more
Author:Butterworth, Doug S; Mori, MitsuyoDate:2005The D&M MP is tuned to the Core set OM and then applied to constituent scenarios of the Core set and the Sensitivity trials. The presence or absence of appreciable changes in anticipated performance as factors are varied in these trials ...Read more

Author:Mori, MitsuyoDate:2005The main objective of this thesis is to model the krill-predator dynamics of the Antarctic ecosystem so as to determine whether predator-prey interactions alone can broadly explain observed population trends of the species considered in the ...Read more
Author:Butterworth, Doug S; Mori, MitsuyoDate:2007A counter example is provided to show that inferences of incompatibility between population trends from ADAPT-VPA and independently estimated changes in the age-at-sexual-maturity of Antarctic minke whales over the late 1940s to late 1960s ...Read more
