本文采取常用的种群评估方法，应用模拟数据比较研究了两种世代分析方法（ＶＰＡ）（Ｇｕｌｌａｎｄ（１９６５）ＶＰＡ方法和分离ＶＰＡ方法（ＰｏｐｅａｎｄＳｈｅｐｈｅｒｄ１９８２））。指出：在没有应用捕捞努力量调谐最近捕劳死亡率时，分离ＶＰＡ和ＧｕｌｌａｎｄＶＰＡ都不能正确反映实况；当使用调谐方法后，两种方法的结果都有所改善；对三组初始捕捞死亡率，Ｇｕｌｌａｎｄ方法给出相同结果；相反分离ＶＰＡ对不同初始值作出不同答案，但是在初始值接近真值时，分离ＶＰＡ的计算值较Ｇｕｌｌａｎｄ方法为好。 In this paper, two commonly used methods of population assessment were applied. Two generations of analysis methods (VPA) (Gulland (1965) VPA method and VPA method (Pope and Shepherd 1982)) were comparatively studied. Pointed out that neither VPA nor GullandVPA could correctly reflect the live situation when no fishing effort was used to tune the recent mortality rate of catches; the results of both methods were improved when the tuning method was used; and the initial fishing mortality, Gulland’s method gives the same result; on the contrary, VPA separates the different initial values, but when the initial value approaches the true value, VPA is better than Gulland’s method.
