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 $aGeology$xStatistical methods 615 0$aFish stock assessment. 615 0$aGeology$xStatistical methods. 676 $a333.95/611 676 $a639.2015195 701 $aRivoirard$b Jacques$0460644 712 12$aICES Statutory Meeting$d(73rd :$f1985 :$eLondon, England) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910877758403321 996 $aGeostatistics for estimating fish abundance$94188580 997 $aUNINA
