Humpback whales, rock lobsters and mathematics : exploration of assessment models incorporating stock-structure
This thesis presents four marine resource assessments; three concern the Southern Hemisphere (SH) humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and one the South African east coast rock lobster Palinurus delagoae. It also sets out the statistical background to the methodology employed in the assessments,...

| description | This thesis presents four marine resource assessments; three concern the Southern Hemisphere (SH) humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and one the South African east coast rock lobster Palinurus delagoae. It also sets out the statistical background to the methodology employed in the assessments, including an outline of the Bayesian approach, Bayes' theorem, and the sampling-importance re-sampling (SIR) as well as the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. |
