Abstract:Parametric size-selection curves are often combined over hauls to estimate a mean selection curve using a mixed model in which between-haul variation in selection is treated as a random effect. This paper shows how the mixed model can be extended to estimate a mean selection curve when smooth nonparametric size-selection curves are used. The method also estimates the between-haul variation in selection at each length and can model fixed effects in the form of the different levels of a categorical variable. Dat… Show more

However, only whiting above 20 cm were caught in reasonable numbers, so the trials provided scant data for estimating the selection of small whiting.…”
