    This study introduces a new method for estimating heavily exploited animal population sizes using catch and effort data. The advanced competing-risk model offers superior accuracy over traditional techniques for fisheries management.

    Area of Science:

    • Ecology
    • Statistical Modeling
    • Fisheries Science

    Background:

    • Estimating population size in heavily exploited species is crucial for sustainable management.
    • Existing methods like mark-recapture and line-transect techniques have limitations for large or inaccessible aquatic populations.
    • Catch and effort data are often readily available but require sophisticated analytical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel competing-risk model for estimating animal population size from catch and harvest-effort data.
    • To provide a flexible framework that accommodates time-dependent covariates and avoids assumptions about birth or juvenile mortality rates.
    • To demonstrate the method's accuracy and applicability to real-world fisheries data.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes a competing-risk model, analogous to Cox's hazard-regression model, for adult deaths and captures.

  • Employs maximum likelihood estimation to derive population size estimates, error bounds, and catch predictions.
  • Incorporates time-dependent covariates into natural and catch hazard functions.

    • Main Results:

    • A simulation study confirmed the method's significantly higher accuracy compared to previous catch-effort techniques.
    • Application to fisheries data resulted in a 68% reduction in the mean sum of squares for error.
    • Improved accuracy in predicting future catches was achieved through model refinement.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides a robust and accurate approach for estimating the size of heavily exploited animal populations.
    • It is particularly suitable for large aquatic populations where traditional methods are infeasible.
    • The model's flexibility and improved predictive power enhance its utility for fisheries science and management.
