Population Estimates using a
mark-recapture or removal method include: abundance, mean weight, and
biomass by age class.
Production
Estimates using the instantaneous growth rate
or the increment summation method include: abundance, biomass,
growth, mortality, production, and P/B ratio by year class and
sampling interval.
Variances included for all
parameters.
Uses accepted statistical
methods.
No additional software
required.
Available for PC or Macintosh.
Pop/Pro Modular Statistical
Software includes eight portable modules that
estimate population size and associated variances from standard
fisheries field data using mark-recapture or removal methods;
secondary production and variances are then calculated from a series
of population estimates using the instantaneous rate of growth or
increment summation methods. Software is available for PC (DOS) or Macintosh microcomputers and is distributed at no cost to the
user.
Over 600 copies have been requested and distributed to biologists
in 52 countries.

estimate fish population parameters, production rates and associated
variance. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 1(1):73-75.
NOTICE: Pop/Pro is Freeware.
It is made available by the author at no cost to the user; however,
it is illegal for any individual or group (other than the author) to
