Description
Summary:[EN] Abundance index for Eastern Atlantic skipjack was derived from the European purse seiner CPUEs series (2010-2019) for fishing operations made on drifting FADs non-owned by the vessel. By selecting non-owned dFADs only, i.e., dFADs for which the purse seiner has no previous information for detecting the object and on the corresponding aggregated biomass, we relaxed as possible the assumptions on the non-random detection process as well as on the effort creep over the years. The VAST methodology was used to standardized the SKJ CPUE. A GLMM approach has been also applied to compare the outputs when using an alternative modelling approach.
