To standardize false king crab catch rates and transform them into abundance indices it is essential to count on a model that adequately describes the relation between catch per trap and fishing time. Considering data derived from research surveys carried out on board of the artisanal fleet in the Beagle Channel, assuming an asymptotic catch trend and absence of escape, to describe the relation an exponential model was applied. The Coo (asymptotic catch) and a (income rate) parameters of the model allowed to build a correction factor to transform the catches obtained with different fishing times into relative abundance indices. The model provides, besides, the optimum time to maximize catches. Para estandarizar las tasas de captura de centollón y... |
