Potential use of the Andersen-Ursin multispecies Beverton and Holt model for modelling North Pacific fish interactions

Sensitivity analysis of the model produced results which paralleled those of a biomass based model. Similar types of parameters, those involving growth and predation, proved to be the most sensitive in both the number based Andersen-Ursin model and a biomass based model. The implications of this result are discussed in terms of using the Andersen-Ursin model for the North Pacific management areas. 1983 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NWFSC (Northwest Fisheries Science Center) AFSC (Alaska Fisheries Science Center) Library Public Domain 1864
