Santos, E.P. dosNeiva, G. de S.Valentini, H.

The purpose of this paper is the determination of the "mortality curve" of the sea bob shrimp population of Baía de  Santos (Brasil, 23°S). This population is exploited by the fishing fleet of Santos. We got the following relationship: where:  M  ( t) = .335N (t)1.03 M ( t) = proportional number of dead individuals in t; N (t) = proportional number of individuals in the beginning of t; t = 2 months.
