reliable game fish weight estimation model for Atlantic tarpon Megalops atlanticus ) erald
@inproceedings{Ault2012reliableGF, title={reliable game fish weight estimation model for Atlantic tarpon Megalops atlanticus ) erald}, author={Scott Ault and Jiangang Luo}, year={2012} }
Rapid growth of popular and lucrative catch-and-release marine sportfisheries worldwide has highlighted the need for reliable weight estimation methods for use in fishing tournaments, pursuit of fishing records, and to support scientific research that allows captured fish to be released alive. This paper describes new methods to predict weight from measurements of body size of game fish. Here we also evaluated efficacy of a widely used historical model and compared this to several new…

The fit of the allometric model as well as alternative weight-length relationships to data from acoustic surveys of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma from the North Pacific are explored and a subtle but persistent lack of fit is found, particularly for the largest and smallest fish in the population.

Analysis of Marine Recreational Fishery Statistic Survey data for 1981–1999 showed no statistically significant U.S. trends for total number of anglers, total catch in numbers, or total annual catch/angler, and mean mortality varied greatly by species and within species, anatomical hooking location was the most important mortality factor.
