instantaneous rate of fishing mortality

instantaneous rate of fishing mortality
used to describe the decrease in numbers of fish over time when fishing and natural mortality act concurrently (Nt = No * e^-Zt , where No is the initial number and Nt is the number of the remaining fish at the end of time t. Z is the instantaneous total mortality rate, usually composed of M + F, where M is the natural mortality rate and F is the mortality rate caused by the fishery). Abbreviated as F. Also called rate of fishing; instantaneous rate of fishing mortality, force of fishing mortality
