A Bayesian length-based population dynamics model for northern shrimp (Pandalus Borealis)

We introduce a fully length-based Bayesian model for the population dynamics of northern shrimp (Pandalus Borealis). This has the advantage of structuring the population in terms of a directly observable quantity, requiring no indirect estimation of age distributions from measurements of size. The introduced model is intended as a simplistic prototype around which further developments and refinements can be built. As a case study, we use the model to analyze the population of Skagerrak and the Norwegian Deep in the years 1988-2012.
