Sammendrag
Parametric size-selection curves are often combined over hauls to estimate a mean selection curve using a
mixed model in which between-haul variation in selection is treated as a random effect. This paper shows how the
mixed model can be extended to estimate a mean selection curve when smooth nonparametric size-selection curves are
used. The method also estimates the between-haul variation in selection at each length and can model fixed effects in
the form of the different levels of a categorical variable. Data obtained to estimate the size-selection of dab by a
Nordmøre grid are used for illustration. The method can also be used to provide a length-based analysis of catchcomparison
data, either to compare a test net with a standard net or to calibrate two research survey vessels. Haddock
data from an intercalibration exercise are used for illustration.
