Figure 2

Model averaged population trajectories (blue lines) and time series of estimated catches (red lines) of southern right whale (SRW) Eubalaena australis. The solid blue line represents the median estimated model-averaged trajectory of the population abundance (Ny), while the shaded areas correspond to the 50% and 95% credible intervals. The dashed line represents the median estimated base case trajectory of the abundance. The solid red line represents the average number of whaling catches as estimated by the catch parameter (π), while the red shaded areas correspond to the 50% and 95% credible intervals. The grey and black dots represent the estimated and observed, respectively, absolute abundance in 2010 (confidence and credible intervals can be found in Fig. S4).
