Unfortunately, it is also one of the most difficult parameters to estimate. Direct estimates of M (e.g., from tagging studies) are usually difficult to obtain for most fish stocks. Numerous methods have developed to obtain estimates of M from other more frequently available life history parameters.

This app, developed by Jason Cope, provides a straightforward method for obtaining the estimated value of M from a range of life-history based methods.
