Abstract: The data of krill fishery in Subarea 48 for 1986 – 2008 presented to CAMLR database by ... haul-by-haul data were used. Standardizing CPUE was performed by applying the generalized linear model ... with random effects (GLMM). The analysis of diagnostics of GLMM tuning indicated that the model with ... Tweedie’s distribution satisfactorily describes the set of data collected in Subareas 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3 ...
