Stripped weakfish is one of the ensemble of species known as “variado costero” most frequently landed. Considering that fact, determination of abundance indices is particularly relevant to apply assessment models and make recommendations to allow for a proper fishery management. The aim of this study was to obtain those indices of the species derived from research cruises carried out in the Argentine-Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone AUCFZ area (34°S-39°S) in the 1993-2006 period. In order to improve the traditional estimate accuracy modeling was used. To formulate the general linear models year, stratum, length, bottom salinity, depth factors and population data such as mean size and juveniles percentage were used. The percentages of variance explained in the... |
