Abstract
New exploitation of yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus, in 1 area off the Washington [USA] coast allowed first estimates of instantaneous natural mortality rate to be made for this species. Most values calculated from catch curves and survival data fall in the 0.2-0.3 range; the best point estimate is 0.25.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
