In general, the more complex the models get, the more they are restricted to a case-by-case basis for particular, well-studied species, because demographic data required for detailed models are unavailable for the majority of species. In the present study, we propose a simple life-table metamodel, which facilitates population and fishery assessments across entire groups of fish. The general approach is described and its application is demonstrated on two groups of fish, which reflect extremes in their life cycle: sturgeons (order Acipenseriformes) and shads (genus Alosa). The approach allows to determine fishing mortality thresholds across different life history types, and to analyze their general population elasticity. Its application is suggested for rapid assessments across large, species-rich groups of fish. The method also allows utilizing life history data from well-studied species to infer fishing mortality thresholds for other, poorly studied species within the same group. Comparisons of the model output with results from other population models indicated a good congruity.
