The use of the swept area method for assessing the seabob shrimp Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862) biomass and removal rates based on artisanal fishery-derived data in southern Brazil: using depletion models to reduce uncertainty

The seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri) represents an important fishing resource for artisanal fishermen in coastal areas of southern Brazil. Stock assessments of this species ha ve generally relied on biomass dynamics models as applied to CPUE time-series, which (a) are only available for a small...
