 By the mid-1990s, ADMB had earned acceptance by researchers working on
all aspects of resource management.Population models based on the
ADMB are used to monitor a range of both endangered
species and commercially valuable fish populations including
whales, dolphins,
sea lions, penguins, albatross, abalone, lobsters, tunas, marlins,
sharks, rays, anchovy, and pollock.ADMB has also been
used to reconstruct movements of many species of animals tracked with
electronic tags.
