Methods to assess impacts on Hudson River striped bass: final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5425636
Two-young-of-the-year entrainment models and one impingement model are described. Several quantitative methods for evaluating entrainment mortality factors are presented, including methods for estimating the probability of mortality, for evaluating biases in such estimates, for detecting mortality and deriving confidence intervals, and for treating sublethal effects and indirect mortality. Biological compensation was a key issure in the hearings. A critique of the Lawler, Matusky and Skelly (LMS) compensation function, the development of a new stock-recruitment model which combines two classical models, a technique for validating stock-recruitment curve fits, and a regression analysis of stock-recruitment relationships in three fish populations are discussed. The use of discriminant analysis to estimate the relative contribution of the Hudson River striped bass population to Atlantic fisheries is described. An appendix documents the FORTRAN version of the Empirical Transport Model.
