Figure 2 



The south Pacific albacore length-frequency data set. The corresponding sampling period are given in the 

 lower right of each histogram. The sampling data format is year/month/week; year 1 was 1988. No 

 sampling was conducted during December 1989. The horizontal bars over the first three modes of sample 

 no. 6 correspond to the user supplied bounds on the mean length of these age classes. The dashed vertical 

 lines represent the estimated mean lengths-at-age in each sample. The inner smooth curves are the 

 estimated numbers at age and the outer smooth curve is the estimated frequency distribution.
