Swordfish catch, size, and effort data collected from the U.S. longline
fleet operating over a wide geographical range of the western North Atlantic
Ocean were used to develop age-specific indices of abundance of north Atlantic
swordfish. Standardized catch rates were estimated using the General Linear
Modeling approach.

Aerial sampling surveys of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were conducted
between September 1983 and February 1986. Seasonal sampling of the 359,000
square kilometer study area was completed to allow estimation of the regional
abundance of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Under the assumption
of no net movement between sampling regions and sampling periods it was
estimated on average between 35,000 and 45,000 bottlenose dolphins may live in
U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters of depths 183 m or less. The dominant proportion
of these animals appear to inhabit waters of greater than 18.3 m. The data
were stratified to allow estimates sufficient for quota recommendations for
managing the live capture fishery for bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Searle, S.R. (1971). Linear Models. John Wiley & Sons, New York.
This book describes general procedures of estimation and hypothesis
testing for linear statistical models and shows their application for
unbalanced data (i.e., unequal subclass numbers data) to certain specific
models that often arise in research and survey work. In addition, three
chapters are devoted to methods and results for estimating variance
components, particularly from unbalanced data. Balanced data for the kind
usually arising from designed experiments are treated very briefly, as just
special cases of unbalanced data. Emphasis on unbalanced data is the backbone
of the book, designed to assist those whose data cannot satisfy the strictures
of carefully managed and well designed experiments.

Forests. Resources, Fall, 4 pp.
Ecosystem management ignores the social consensus implicit in a
legislated objective of producing multiple forest outputs and, instead,
attempts to achieve some arbitrary forest condition about which society has
little say.
