Hazard function models to estimate mortality rates affecting fish populations with application to the sea mullet (Mugil cephalus) fishery on the Queensland coast (Australia)
Fisheries management agencies around the world collect age data for the purpose of assessing the status of natural resources in their jurisdiction. Estimates of mortality rates represent a key information to assess the sustainability of fish stocks exploitation. Contrary to medical research or manufacturing where survival analysis is routinely applied to estimate failure rates, survival analysis has seldom been applied in fisheries stock assessment despite similar purposes between these fields of applied statistics. In this paper, we developed hazard functions to model the dynamic of an exploited fish population. These functions were used to estimate all parameters necessary for stock assessment (including natural and fishing mortality rates as well as gear selectivity) by maximum likelihood using age data from a sample of catch. This novel application of survival analysis to fisheries stock assessment was tested by Monte Carlo simulations to assert that it provided un-biased estimations of relevant quantities. The method was applied to data from the Queensland (Australia) sea mullet (Mugil cephalus) commercial fishery collected between 2007 and 2014. It provided, for the first time, an estimate of natural mortality affecting this stock: 0.22 $\pm$ 0.08 year$^{-1}$.

Natural and fishing mortalities affecting eastern sea garfish, Hyporhamphus australis, inferred from age-frequency data using hazard functions
Estimates of age-specific natural (M) and fishing (F) mortalities among economically important stocks are required to determine sustainable yields and, ultimately, facilitate effective resource management. Here we used h…
ManagementNatural mortality of Trachurus novaezelandiae and their size selection by purse seines off south-eastern Australia
The natural mortality (M) and purse-seine catchability and selectivity were estimated for Trachurus novaezelandiae, Richardson, 1843 (yellowtail scad)-a small inshore pelagic species harvested off south-eastern Australia…
Survival AnalysisRelation of the Weibull Shape Parameter with the Healthy Life Years Lost Estimates: Analytic Derivation and Estimation from an Extended Life Table
Matsushita et al (1992) have done an interesting finding. They observed that the shape parameter of the Weibull model presented systematic changes over time and age when applied to mortality data for males and females in…
Deep State-Space Generative Model For Correlated Time-to-Event Predictions
Capturing the inter-dependencies among multiple types of clinically-critical events is critical not only to accurate future event prediction, but also to better treatment planning. In this work, we propose a deep latent …
