    Abstract

    A method is developed for using observed values of the mean proportion of recruits and its variance to model recruitment in a krill population in terms of numbers of recruits. The method includes the calculation of natural mortality and other parameters consistent with the observed proportional recruitment parameters. A procedure is given for generating families of recruitment functions which are consistent with the statistical uncertainty in the observed recruitment parameters.
