Abstract: | This paper combines the elegant technique of Data Assimilation and a Monte Carlo procedure to analyze time series data for
the North East Arctic Cod stock (NEACs). A simple nonlinear dynamic resource model is calibrated to time series data using
the variational adjoint parameter estimation method and the Monte Carlo technique. By exploring the efficient features of
the variational adjoint technique coupled with the Monte Carlo method, optimal or best parameter estimates with their error
statistics are obtained. Thereafter, the weak constraint formulation resulting in a stochastic ordinary differential equation
(SODE) is used to find an improved estimate of the dynamical variable, i.e. the stock. Empirical results show that the average
fishing mortality imposed on the NEACs is about 16% more than the intrinsic growth rate of the biological species. |
