Description
Summary:Catch, fishing effort and catch per unit effort of white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus) and blue mar-lin (Makaira nigricans) are verified and updated to 1998 for Taiwanese longline fishery. The nominal CPUE of white marlin and blue marlin were standardized by general linear model with Year, Quarter and Area factors, and with Quarter:Area interactions for two time periods (1968-1980 and 1981-1998). These analyses were done for the total Atlantic and separately using south and north Atlantic CPUE data. The results show similar decreasing tendencies in standardized CPUE
