Abstract:
:One common method for estimating total catch is to multiply an estimate for CPUE, the catch per unit effort, by an estimate of total effort obtained from an independent second survey. In general, estimating total effort requires that sample times are chosen at random over the full fishing period; however, in practice, this may not always be possible and the usual estimator may be severely biased. Such a restriction in randomization is likely when aircraft are used to make instantaneous counts of fishing activity. This article proposes alternate estimators for use with both access and roving designs in conjunction with effort surveys for which sample times are not random. Ratio type estimators based on activity counts are developed under various scenarios and their performance examined under simulation. In addition, optimizing strategies for use with multiple activity counts are explored. Finally, data from an in-river gill net fishery on the Fraser River is used to illustrate these results.
