| Abstract: |
This chapter deals with fish mortality, i.e. the loss of individuals of a population, an important feature of fish stock dynamics. Specifically, this chapter includes the definition and types of mortality (total, natural, fishing) and their estimation methods based on catch-curves of length and age as well as empirical equations.
