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 da 606 $aFish stock assessment 606 $aFish stock assessment 606 $aAnimal Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aAgriculture$2HILCC 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aFish stock assessment. 615 4$aFish stock assessment. 615 7$aAnimal Sciences 615 7$aAgriculture 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 676 $a333.95/611 676 $a639.2015195 700 $aRivoirard$b J$0969056 701 $aSimmonds$b J$0969057 701 $aFoote$b K.
