Catchability was estimated from commercial catch and effort data and fishery-independent estimates of exploitation rates. The seasonal catchability models describe the effects of water temperature, moulting and mating on catchability. They suggest that similar environmental and physiological processes underpin seasonal catchability in the two regions of the fishery, but that the relative importance of these factors varies considerably between the two regions. Physiological processes dominate the pattern of catchability in the north while water temperature contributes significantly to the model only in the south. Interannual variation in relative catchability was correlated with density-dependent processes. Full models described 72% of the total variation in catchability over 6 years in the south and 80% of the total variation over 4 years in the north." name="eprints.abstract" /> <meta content="2003-03" name="eprints.date" /> <meta content="published" name="eprints.date_type" /> <meta content="Fisheries Research" name="eprints.publication" /> <meta content="61" name="eprints.volume" /> <meta content="1-3" name="eprints.number" /> <meta content="107-123" name="eprints.pagerange" /> <meta content="10.1016/S0165-7836(02)00240-0" name="eprints.id_number" /> <meta content="UNSPECIFIED" name="eprints.thesis_type" /> <meta content="TRUE" name="eprints.refereed" /> <meta content="0165-7836" name="eprints.issn" /> <meta content="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0165-7836(02)00240-0" name="eprints.official_url" /> <meta content="Addison, J.T., Bannister, R.C.A., 1998.

Catchability was estimated from commercial catch and effort data and fishery-independent estimates of exploitation rates. The seasonal catchability models describe the effects of water temperature, moulting and mating on catchability. They suggest that similar environmental and physiological processes underpin seasonal catchability in the two regions of the fishery, but that the relative importance of these factors varies considerably between the two regions. Physiological processes dominate the pattern of catchability in the north while water temperature contributes significantly to the model only in the south. Interannual variation in relative catchability was correlated with density-dependent processes. Full models described 72% of the total variation in catchability over 6 years in the south and 80% of the total variation over 4 years in the north.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Definitive version is available online at http://www.sciencedirect.com/</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Jasus edwardsii; Rock lobster; Catchability; Water temperature; Moulting; Density </td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270702.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270700 Ecology and Evolution > 270702 Marine and Estuarine Ecology (incl.
