Quantitative methods and mathematical modelling are of critical importance to fishery science and management but, until now, there has been no book that offers the sharp focus, methodological detail, and practical examples needed by fishery scientists, managers, and ecologists. This book fills that void. Addressing a topic of much recent debate in fisheries and ecology, it describes and compares the use of Least Squares, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian quantitative methods. It contains numerous examples from both the classic and recent literature and includes dedicated Excel spreadsheets, and a web-site containing Excel workbooks, that permit readers to delve into every detail of the analyses.
