Hierarchical Bayesian modelling of Atlantic salmon egg to smolt time series from monitored rivers of eastern Canada to define and transport reference points / G. Chaput ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2015-075E-PDF
This paper presents analyses of the available time series of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawner to smolt data from fourteen monitored rivers in eastern Canada. A freshwater life history model is presented using a hierarchical Bayesian modelling framework to estimate and transfer reference points for Atlantic salmon. The results show that the stock and recruitment dynamic of Atlantic salmon within the freshwater portion of the life cycle is highly variable within and among rivers with consequence that the stock and recruitment parameters are uncertain. These uncertainties propagate into the estimation of reference points for management.
