I need some paper about the computation and interpretation of biological statistic of fish population.
There are very good books, for example W.E. Ricker "Computation and interpretations of biological statistics of fish populations/Bull. of the Fisheries REsearch Board of Canada 191, Ottawa 1975
Computation and Interpretation of Biological Statistics of Fish Populations
Computation and Interpretation of Biological Statistics of Fish Populations
Item# 978-1932846-232 (Paperback; 400 pages)
Bulletin 191 of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada
by W. E. Ricker
Computation and Interpretation of Biological Statistics of Fish Populations, first published in 1975, is William Edwin Ricker’s third Bulletin that deals with the general field of biological statistics of fish populations. It is a compilation of the more important procedures used to estimate abundance, age composition, rate of growth, and mortality rates in fish populations, with working examples of all the computations.
Computation and Interpretation of Biological Statistics of Fish Populations is one of the most highly cited scientific references in the field of fisheries.
William Edwin (Bill) Ricker (1908 – 2001) is an important founder of fisheries science. He is best known for the Ricker model which can be used to predict the number of fish that will be present in a fishery. In fisheries, he researched issues centered on Canadian fisheries and how to manage them.
In 1950 Ricker became editor of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board, and during his twelve year tenure developed this into perhaps the most influential fisheries science journal in the world.
