Abstract: We present a maximum likelihood procedure for estimating population growth and mortality parameters by simultaneously analysing size frequency and growth increment data. The model uses von Bertalanffy growth with variability among individuals in the two parameters that determine growth rate, and size-dependent mortality. Analyzing growth increments together with size frequencies reduces the statistical confounding of the natural mortality rate with von Bertalanffy's K parameter. We assume steady-state (constant recruitment) conditions for the size distributions; hence the method does not depend on age modes in the distribution. We evaluate the bias and precision of estimates obtained for growth-dominated distributions typical...
