An alternative method for estimating the level of illegal fishing using simulated scaling methods on detected effort
is adequate under circumstances of low evasion and for when good knowledge exists that zero ... observations reflects zero illegal fishing. The new method performs better in the case of zero detections and ... can potentially better handle the evasion of detection by illegal activity. Both the new and the ... current method suffer from the type of observations method used, which directly affects the system. This ...

Quantifying vessel performance in the CCAMLR tagging program: spatially and temporally controlled measures of relative mortality and tag-detection rates
CCAMLR of a number of toothfish fisheries in Antarctica, but the evaluation of tagging performance has ... been thus far inconclusive because the confounding effect of factors such as time and location of ... tagging, and size of fish tagged, makes meaningful comparisons between vessels difficult. We propose that ... can derive meaningful indices of relative performance of groups of fishing effort (e.g. vessel, trip ...
