A new method for estimating fish natural mortality coefficient (m), based on the extended survivors method, using a catch-at-age data and an abundant index (catch per unit effort, CPUE) was proposed.

基于扩展残存资源量法，提出一种根据分年龄组渔获量以及资源量指数(单位捕捞努力量渔获量，CPUE)求算鱼类的自然死亡系数(M)的新方法。

Whale researchers use population models that factor a species' reproductive rate and its natural mortality to come up with an estimate of how many are likely dying.

Japan argues the program is important to estimate the biological parameters which could be used for management, in particular natural mortality, and the elucidation of the role of whales in the Antarctic ecosystem.
