Natural survivorship estimates for the West Coast rock lobster Jasus Lalandii obtained using a size-based modelling approach

Natural survivorship for the South African west coast rock lobster resource, Jasus lalandii, is estimated at two locations, Robben Island and Hout Bay. A size-based modelling approach is used, in which the model is fitted, to pristine catch size frequencies. The natural survivorship value for lobste...
