Abstract

Abstract: Crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) is an important by-catch species of tropical Atlantic tuna longline fishery. The research on the relationship between the CPUE (catch per unit effort) and environmental factors can provide basic data for resource protection and management of this important species. Based on the Tweedie distribution theory, and the data of 1085 croco-dile sharks collected by the national observers of longline fishery from 2009 to 2015 in the tropical Atlantic Ocean (6.38° S-14.92° N, 42.03°-18.53° W), theGAM-Tweedie model was established, and the temporal and spatial effects of CPUE as well as the relationship with environmental factors were analyzed. The results showed the explained cumulative deviance of the crocodile shark’s CPUE to be 40.2%. The spatio-temporal factors (year, month, longitude, latitude) all hadsignificant effects (P<0.05) on the crocodile shark CPUE. The environmental factors such as sea surface height, chlorophyll a concentration, weather code, sea surface salinity and sea level pressure all had significant effects on CPUE (P<0.05). However, the Beaufort wind force and lunar calendar did not have significant effects on theCPUE (P>0.05). Significant correlation (P<0.05) was observed at different latitudes and in months between the sea surface temperature and CPUE. The standardized CPUE of the crocodile shark in 2009-2015 showed a fluctuating increase trend.
