Abstract |
The distribution of fish caught by experimental gill nets has been found to be in the Poisson or negative binomial form. Using this information, application of Chi-square test as suggested by Mood et al. (1974) has been illustrated, for comparing the efficiencies of gill nets. This test provides an alternative to ANOVA F-test especially in the context of significance of nonadditivity for the two-way model. Based on the present work and the findings by Nair (1982, 1984) an outline approach for statistical comparison of the efficiencies of fishing gear is presented. |
