1. DISCRIMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE THE CATCH PER UNIT EFFORT: THE CASE OF THE ANTARCTIC KRILL FISHERY

   Abstract:  The use of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) as an index of abundance usually requires a ... standardization process consisting of isolating all those exogenous factors from temporal variations in abundance ... vessel efficiency, variations in fishing strategies, and environmental fluctuations. The selection of the ... latter has been considered to be one of the most difficult, arbitrary, and poorly documented stages since ...
