Abstract
In this paper we consider the task of estimating the volume of recreational fish catch yield in a water body. We design mathematical models for the tasks varying in complexity and generality and demonstrate how they can be solved using Bayesian approach. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based Bayesian approach is widely used as a solution for stochastic models. To solve the simplest case of a proposed model we have used the PyMC library. The proposed models were later used to estimate the recreational fishing capacity of the water bodies in Qazaqstan.
