How community ecology links natural mortality, growth, and
... A central problem in fisheries science is to determine the adult natural mortality, M, for a specific population, or at least to establish a rule of how M relates to other easily measurable quantities. Beverton and Holt (1959) demonstrated empirically that M and the von Bertalanffy growth constant K ...
