DEVELOPING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNDERTAKING CPUE STANDARDISATION USING OBSERVER PROGRAM DATA

Cpue Standardisation for Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Executive summary Indices of catch per unit effort are presented for bigeye and yellowfin tuna in the WCPO from 1952 to 2009, based on analyses of aggregated Japanese distant water longline data. One change was made to the methods for estimating indices of abundance for the bigeye and yellowfin stock assessments, with removal of the targeting indicator based on CPUE of other species. This chang...

Discard Estimation using Observer Data

The Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP) has provided data on fish kept and discarded at sea from numerous vessels for over a decade. These data are commonly used to estimate the total discards of a species or stock by a given fleet. Many different methods can be used for this estimation. This paper explores six of the methods using actual observer data to create a known universe of tri...

Developing an Active Observer

Seeing robots are usually aimed at functioning in real environments. Hence the gure-ground problem is essential. We argue that for a seeing robot, capable of actively xating and holding gaze on objects in three dimensions, this problem is manageable, in particular if multiple cues can be used. An important point here is that a seeing robot should be able to utilize what the environment ooers, r...

Data Standardisation in GlycoSuiteDB

GlycoSuiteDB, a database of glycan structures, has been constructed with an emphasis on quality, consistency and data integrity. Importance has been placed on making the database a reliable and useful resource for all researchers. This database can help researchers to identify what glycan structures are known to be attached to certain glycoproteins, as well as more generally identifying what ty...
