+===Comment===
 The two reviewers have identified major flaws in the MS and recommend rejection. However, both reviewers encourage resubmission of a new manuscript. Both reviewers also found that the MS was poorly prepared and hard to follow. I agree with the reviewers’ assessment and recommend that the MS be rejected in its current form, but submission of a new MS encouraged.  The revised MS would be treated as a new submission, and a response letter is needed from the authors detailing how they address the reviewers' comments.
-**A:** The reviewers comments were carefully considered and a major revision was undertaken focusing on removing unnecessary complexities in the modelling strategies whereas preserving the essence of the proposal which is to combine compositional data analysis with the Bayesian geostatistical analysis which we believe is the core contribution in the MS. For instance we now follow a transformed Gaussian model for the geostatistical analysis, which has a more straightforward implementation and interpretation. This avoids issues raised by the referees which has being discussed and questioned concerning the previously adopted negative-binomial GLM model, without impact on the quality of the results. Discussions on the the standardizations used before are no longer needed which has also prevented some bias in the analyses. More importantly this allows for a shorter and more objective description of the proposed approach, removing unnecessary distractions.

 ) Both referees asked for comparisons between the model proposed and the design-based estimates. Note that a major part of this discussion is about the design-based versus model-based approaches which is outside the scope of the paper. Our usage of the design-based estimates is mainly to provide a reference given by an usually adopted strategy of analysis. Discussions on the differences between both are constrained to the relevant purposes of the paper. We refer to further a discussion on design versus model based approaches given by Jardim and Ribeiro Jr (2007) and references thereof.

 ) Several referees' comments, albeit pertinent, were related with issues that we did not considered central to the main subject of the paper highlighting the fact there were distracting topics. For the sake of objectivity we have critically revised the real contribution of such topics.  Among them there was the calibration with a GLM which lead to little if any improvement on the expense of higher complexity and bringing issues on possible bias caused by the usage of the residuals. The GLM was replaced by the square root transformation showing  comparable results in accordance with earlier work by Jardim and Ribeiro (2008) and avoiding the problem with null observations caused by the log transform.
 ) The manuscript was criticized by the poor writing style, unclear mathematical notation and inconsistencies regarding the objectives. A deep revision was carried out addressing these issues and the paper has now more focused on the model compared with the study case, reflecting its mais objective.  Mathematical notation was revised aiming for greater consistency and clarity and better explained.

 The paper is not well written. I have listed major comments below. More specific comments and some grammatical corrections are inserted directly in the attached pdf file. The authors advocate a fairly complex model for limited data. They need to better measure and describe the advantages of their proposed approach versus the simpler and commonly used design-based approach.

-.	The authors estimate age compositions separately from spatial stock density, or more specifically the component of stock density sampled by the trawl. However, this will not usually be appropriate because there will be both spatial variations in stock density and stock age compositions. For example, if juveniles are distributed closer to shore, near or in nursery areas, then one cannot estimate the age composition separately from spatial stock density. This is common for many groundfish species. The authors recognize that fish tend to distribute differently by size categories, and they should also recognize that the local abundance of the size categories will be different as well, with greater numbers of smaller sized fish for a species. For example, consider the very simple situation of separate inshore and offshore areas, within which a species is homogeneously distributed in two size classes: 100 small and 900 large offshore, and 3900 small and 100 large inshore. The combined age composition for both areas is (S,L)=(0.8,0.2), whereas averaging the age compositions for the two regions gives (S,L)=(0.54,0.46). The latter result is wrong because the total age-composition for both regions should be computed as a weighted-average, where the weights depend on total stock numbers in each region.

The authors describe a procedure to check if age-proportions are related to stock density. It seems incomplete. If local abundance (C_ih) and age proportions (P_ijh) are statistically independent then the proposed approach is OK. However, testing for independence by fitting a model with total catch as a covariate may not be enough.

 .	The authors need to better describe the procedure used to calibrate the survey data. For example, if there are no covariate effects so that the GLM contained only a constant intercept term, would the calibrated and un-calibrated data be identical? If not, then the authors should defend why this is appropriate.

Both methods, model based geostatistics and compositional data analysis, are validated statistically so there's no reason why the combination of both shouldn't give valid results.

 a) The authors proposed a new methodology to estimate abundance at age from trawl surveys and obtained different results from an existing method. However, the current manuscript does not show clearly the novelty and superiority of this new method compared to others. I would prefer structure in the introduction section, in which problems regarding existing methods are pointed out, if any, and then new methods are proposed as a solution. It would also be necessary to emphasize the generality of this methodology.
-**A:** Regarding differences in the results for both approaches, see letter to editor point 2) and answer to Q26 of referee #1. The methodology and discussion were revised following this comment to clarify the novelty and advantages of the proposed model and how it fits in the framework of multivariate space-time modeling.

 b) The two sub-models of this study analyze separately the same age composition data from trawl surveys and results from the two are integrated at the final stage. My major concern is that the age composition analysis does not consider spatial correlation in estimating age-structure in each year. As the authors point out in line 235, ignoring spatial correlation is likely to lead to an underestimation of variances. In particular, since sampling designs, including sampling locations, were changed in 2005, spatial effects should be incorporated by some kind of method in estimating age structures. In addition, if hake distribution is highly dependent on age, it would be proper to apply geostatistical models to different ages instead of age-aggregated data. Thus, I am suspicious about the validity of this new methodology, in which the two sub-models analyze the same data independently. I think that a statistically rigorous model to analyze age and spatial effects simultaneously is necessary to solve issues the authors raised.
