| Abstract: | Data collected from a longline fishery in the Indian Ocean were used to evaluate the performance of a deterministic habitat-based
standardization (detHBS) method for catch per unit effort (CPUE) standardization. The habitat preference indices of the yellowfin
tuna (Thunnus albacares) were estimated for different depth, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO) classes. The detHBS was applied for standardizing
the yellowfin tuna CPUE based on the habitat preference indices of the yellowfin tuna. Nominal CPUE and normalized nominal
CPUE were compared with the standardized CPUE and normalized standardized CPUE, respectively, using Wilcoxon tests. The results
showed that (1) there was significant difference between nominal CPUE and standardized CPUEs (p < 0.01); (2) there was no significant difference between normalized nominal CPUE and normalized standardized CPUEs estimated
using the data set of depth, temperature, and DO (p > 0.01). This study suggests that detHBS effectively improved the precision of CPUE standardization, and the depth data set
was the optimum data set in standardizing CPUE. |
