A selection of results is presented from the hake cannibalism and inter-species predation model (referred to as the hake predation for ease of reference) that forms the basis of a recently submitted PhD thesis (Ross-Gillespie 2016). Since the thesis is currently under review, these results are of a preliminary and confidential nature.
The hake predation model is based on the standard assessment model of Rademeyer and Butterworth (2014), but incorporates an additional term effects in the natural mortality rate to account for hake-on-hake predation and cannibalism.
