Two types of overfishing. 1) Growth overfishing occurs when the effort is so high that total yield decreases with increasing effort. The fish are caught before they can grow to a sufficiently large size 2) Recruitment overfishing occurs when the parent stock (spawning stock biomass) comes to very low level affecting the recruitment to the fishery
The first prediction models was developed in the thirties by Thompson and Bell (1934) Later on a simpler model, based on rigorous assumptions, but requiring less calculations was developed by Beverton and Holt (1957) ~ "Yield per Recruit" model Beverton and Holt's yield per recruit model ~ a special application of the Thompson and Bell model which means that any general conclusion derived from it also holds for the Thompson and Bell model
Inputs:
woo (Asymptotic weight) t0 (Age at birth) tc (Age at first capture) tr (Age at recruitment) M (Natural mortality) K (Growth co-efficient) Yield per recruit is obtained at various level of Fishing mortality
It is in principle a "steady state model ~ fishing pattern has been the same for such a long time that all
The life history of a cohort as assumed in the Beverton and Holt model
S = exp[-K*(Tc-t0)] The model allows to calculate Y/R with varying inputs of the parameters, F and Tc Predicts effect of various input values on the yield per recruit of the species under investigation
Yield per recruit curves with different ages of first capture (Tc)
The biomass per recruit model is B/R = exp(-M*(tc-tr))*W*[1/Z 3S/(Z+K)+ 3S2/(Z+2K) S3/(Z+3K)] The Y/R model from length data is Y/R = F*A* W*[1/Z 3U/(Z+K) + 3U2/(Z+2K) U3/(Z+3K)] Where, U = 1 Lc/L A = [(L - Lc)/(L - Lr)] M/K
Thompson and Bell yield model is the exact opposite of VPA or Cohort analysis(retrospective models) VPA and cohort analysis are used to determine the number of fish caught that must have been present in the sea, to account for known catch and fishing mortality
Thompson and Bell model is a predictive model that would forecast the yield with the change in the fishing effort (fishing mortality) & mesh size It works forward, given an array of fishing mortality in different age (or length) groups, recruitment (initial numbers) natural mortality and weight at age array
Inputs: Recruitment (initial numbers) Natural mortality F- array ( fishing mortality for each age or length group) Weight array for each age (length) group Value (price per Kg) in money terms of each age or length group (for economic analysis) Outputs: Catch in numbers Yield in weight Biomass in weight Value in money
the recruitment (initial numbers in the sea for the first age group)
natural mortality(M) F-array weight array and value array(v)
The recruitment and F values for each age (length) group is obtained from cohort analysis
ZNew = M+X*FNew
N(t+t) = N(t) exp( -z* t)
(t is the time interval for each age group. For age frequency data with interval of one year(or month) t =1)
C= [Nt - N(t+t)] *(FNew/ZNew) W= weight at mid value of the age group (e.g. for the age group 1-2 , it is the weight at 1.5 yrs) Y = C*W (Yiled)
B = Y/(FNew* t)
V = v*Y
Find the total yield, total biomass and total value by summing the respective values of yield, biomass and value over all the age or length groups
For a range of X values ( say from 0 to 3 with chosen step size) we will obtain array of yield, biomass and value and plot these values against X.
