Comparison between univariate and bivariate geostatistical models for estimating catch per unit of effort (cpue): A simulation study

► We compared two geostatistical models in order to estimate the catch per unit effort. ► Data were simulated to compare a univariate and a bivariate model. ► The two models showed similar results in the analyzed scenarios. ► The univariate model is preferred, because it is simpler.
