Summary: | Graham Robertson developed the idea/need for the research and the research question and methods; Malcolm McNeill was the operations manager of the collaborating fishing company that provided the fishing vessel; Neville Smith helped with gaining approval for the research by NZ stakeholders, contributed to the design of the project and provided administrative support; Barbara Wienecke collected the data at sea in 2002; Steve Candy did the analysis, Frederique Oliver (and Graham Robertson) collected the data at sea in 2003 This research was a manipulative experiment on autoline ling vessels in the New Zealand ling fishery. The vessels were the Janas and the Avro Chieftain. The experiment examined both seabird bycatch data and fish catch data, as well as operational aspects of fishing with integrated weight longline. The data is a little bit complicated and it is essential that any users be familiar with the methodologies in the scientific paper that was published from the work. That will provide a lot of necessary guidance as well as a context for the research. The data covers 2002 and 2003, as indicated on the files. The data submitted includes relevant information of i) seabird by-catch; ii) catch rates of target fish; iii) catch rates on non-target fish. There is replication in some of the data sheets provided. There are headers in each data file that are explanatory. |
