Abstract:
|
The activities of Whale Sharks in Red Sea have environmental impact in the ecology circle. We analyze the data and find that its gender proportion and distribution of total length have unique characteristics. Under the assumption of close population, the Poisson regression models are fitted to the data. We discover that there are heterogeneities on both the individual and temporal effect. The best fit model yields 257.8 regarding the abundance of Whale Sharks with standard deviation 56.5.
