Anchovy(Engraulis japonicus) is an abundant fish species in the Yellow Sea,and its natural stock is decreasing rapidly in recent years. Based on the stock-recruitment(SR) data from 1987 to 2002 published in Zhao et al.(2003),the criterion BIC(Bayesian Information Criterion) is applied to selecting a suitable model from six normal and lognormal error structured SR statisti-cal models,the age-structured model is used to calculate the biological reference points(BRPs),and the precision of the SR parame-ters and BRPs are calculated using bootstrap method. The results indicate that the anchovy fishery resource in the Yellow Sea is in an over-fished state. The precaution management principle requires that the fishery should be closed immediately.
实际种群分析法(VPA)是渔业资源评估的经典模型之一,也是总允许捕捞配额(TAC)计算的主要模型之一。由于VPA方法本身具有不确定性,单纯的分年龄组产量数据不能计算最末年的捕捞死亡系数(和种群数量),所以它通常需要分年龄组产量数据和附属数据。VPA的调谐方法发源于欧洲,它们简单、易于理解和不需要繁杂的计算,在实际的渔业资源评估中有着广泛的应用。文章研究了最具有典型性的3种VPA调谐方法,JAM(judicious average method)、LS(Laurec and Shepherd method)和Hybrid。应用模拟数据的研究表明,3种方法在捕捞死亡系数稳定时可以较准确地估计补充值。当捕捞死亡系数随时间增加时,LS方法相对于其它2种方法有较优的表现。当捕捞死亡系数随时间减少时,JAM方法有较优的表现。
