Accuracy of at-sea commercial size grading of tiger prawns (Penaeus esculentus and P. semisulcatus) in the Australian northern prawn fishery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The size-frequency distribution of the commercial catch is often used as the basis of fisheries stock assessments (Pauly and Morgan, 1987; Gulland and Rosenberg, 1992) because most dynamic processes of populations (growth, survival, recruitment) are reflected in changes in this distribution. The data are generally collected, often at great expense, by sampling the catch at landing sites and markets, or onboard fishing vessels. Size-frequency distributions of prawns (Penaeus esculentus and P. semisulcatus) can also be obtained from fish processors, who grade landings by size. These data are easier and cheaper to obtain than research samples, but unfortunately they are also considered less accurate and lack spatial information. However, they have been used in stock assessment of prawns in Kuwait (Jones and van Zalinge, 1981) and Malaysia (Simpson and Kong, 1978). It is often difficult to relate size data obtained from a processor to time and place of capture of the prawns, but this is not the case when Accuracy of at-sea commercial size grading of tiger prawns (Penaeus esculentus and P. semisulcatus) in the Australian northern prawn fishery

This analysis of the variations of brown tiger prawn (Penaeus esculentus) catch in the Moreton Bay multispecies trawl fishery estimated catchability using a delay difference model. It integrated several factors responsible for variations in catchability: targeting of fishing effort, increasing fishing power and changing availability. An analysis of covariance was used to define fishing events t...
