Data analysis and CPUE standardization of albacore caught by Taiwanese longline fishery in the Indian Ocean

This paper described the historical trends of fishing operations and albacore catches of Taiwanese large scale longline fishery in the Indian Ocean. The cluster analysis was adopted to explore the targeting of fishing operations. In addition, the CPUE standardizations were conducted using generalized linear model and generalized linear mixed model for examining the influence of treating the vessel ID as fixed and random effects on the CPUE standardizations.
