Catch-at-size (CAS) data are important inputs for many stock assessment methods. However, for methods such as virtual population analysis (VPA), catch-at-size are often first converted into catch-at-age (CAA) by age slicing using a deterministic growth model. 4, record 1, English, - catch%2Dat%2Dage

Les données de prise par taille (CAS) constituent d'importantes valeurs d'entrée pour de nombreuses méthodes d'évaluation des stocks. Toutefois, dans le cas des méthodes telles que l'analyse de population virtuelle (VPA), les prises par taille sont souvent converties dans un premier temps en prise par âge (CAA) obtenue par le découpage des âges au moyen d'un modèle de croissance déterministe. 2, record 1, French, - prise%20par%20%C3%A2ge

[A] way to examine the early arrival of herring on the spawning grounds was by comparing the catch rates at age from one year to the next by age groups. The assumption was that if catch rates are biased downwards somewhat, then the number of fish observed in 1999, for fish one year older than in 1998, would be less than expected. Seven comparisons were made for the different age-groups. 4, record 2, English, - age%20group%20of%20fish

[L'aspect] a aussi été examiné en comparant les taux de prise selon l'âge d'une année à l'autre, par groupe d'âge. Si nous assumons que les taux étaient faussés à la baisse, alors le nombre de poissons observés en 1999, en tant que poissons d'un an de plus que ceux de 1998, serait inférieur à ce qui était prévu. Sept comparaisons ont été faites pour les différents groupes d'âge. 4, record 2, French, - groupe%20d%27%C3%A2ge%20des%20poissons

Lee's phenomenon : Frequently, the larger fish in a year-class have different mortality rates than the smaller ones : either greater or less, but usually greater. This can be detected when back-calculations of length at earlier ages are made from scales or otoliths, using samples that are representative of the whole of each age group involved. When a larger fraction of the larger fish die, the result is "Rosa Lee's phenomenon"... 1, record 3, English, - Lee%27s%20phenomenon
