This application estimates growth, and natural and harvest mortality, rates from size frequency and/or growth increment data collected for a species undergoing continuous growth and whose young recruit into the sampled population in, typically annual, pulses.

A very pedagogical and useful associated manuscript not yet available as a pdf file is:

Smith, B.D., and L.W. Botsford 1998. Interpretation of growth, mortality and recruitment patterns in size at age, growth increment and size frequency data. Can. Spec. Pub. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 125: 125-139.

This very brief Introductory Manual was put together by a student to assist users of this application. Together with the information on SmartStats © provided on this website it should help a analyst begin use of this application.
