Examination of the characteristics of the fishery for Dissostichus eleginoides in the CCAMLR Statistical Subarea 48.3 and its implications on estimating trends in catch per unit effort
Abstract: We investigate the spatial and temporal (i.e. fishing season) variation both systematic ... and random in haul-by-haul catch and effort data from the longline fishery for Dissostichus ... eleginoides in Subarea 48.3. We concentrate on presenting the results of preliminary work on the potential ... effects of changing fishing patterns on the standardisation of the CPUE time series. We consider whether ...
