Standardisation of the commercial CPUE series for abalone in Zones E and G from 1980 to 2007 using a mixed effects model

http://hdl.handle.net/11427/18889

Abstract:

The commercial CPUE series is considered during modeling of resource dynamics as an index of population abundance. However, a number of factors other than abundance may influence recorded values. Standardisation is able to take into account some of these effects, thereby producing a more reliable index.
