Geostatistics is a branch of spatial statistics that was originally
developed for the mining industry. The technique is now widely
recognised as an important tool for the estimation of the abundance
and distribution of natural resources. However, new developments
have been required to extend its application to fisheries science,
particularly in variogram estimation. This important new title
describes the fundamentals of geostatistics in terms more familiar
to life-scientists, and uses case studies on seven commercially
important fish stocks to demonstrate its application to fisheries
survey data. Comprehensive and practical advice is given on how
this new method can be used to estimate the abundance (with an
appropriate measure of precision) of fish stocks worldwide.
Geostatistics for Estimating Fish Abundance will be of vital
interest to fisheries research scientists, marine biologists,
oceanographers, marine and fish ecologists, environmental
scientists and experts involved in the assessment of natural animal
resources.
The book has been developed as a result of studies carried out
by a collaborative team of international researchers expert in this
area with financial support from the Commission of the European
Communities, AIR specific RTD programme.
