This study introduces new methods for estimating total fishing effort when random sampling is not possible, improving accuracy in fisheries catch estimation. These techniques are crucial for reliable fisheries management and conservation efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Fisheries Science
  • Quantitative Ecology
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Estimating total catch often relies on catch per unit effort (CPUE) multiplied by total effort.
  • Traditional methods for estimating effort assume random sampling of fishing times, which is often impractical.
  • Non-random sampling, especially with aerial surveys, can lead to severely biased effort estimates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate alternative estimators for total fishing effort when random sampling is not feasible.
  • To address biases in effort estimation caused by restricted randomization in survey designs.
  • To explore optimizing strategies for utilizing multiple activity counts in effort estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed ratio-type estimators for both access and roving survey designs under non-random sampling conditions.

  • Developed estimators based on activity counts, considering various scenarios.
  • Employed simulation studies to examine the performance of the proposed estimators.
  • Explored optimization strategies for employing multiple activity counts.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed alternative estimators demonstrate improved performance compared to traditional methods under non-random sampling.
    • Simulation results indicate the effectiveness of ratio-type estimators in reducing bias.
    • Optimization strategies can further enhance the precision of effort estimates when using multiple activity counts.

    Conclusions:

    • Alternative estimators are essential for accurate fisheries catch estimation when random sampling is not possible.
    • The developed ratio-type estimators provide a viable solution for fisheries where effort surveys have restricted randomization.
    • These methods offer improved tools for fisheries management and scientific assessment, particularly for in-river fisheries.
