The analysis was initiated under the framework of the E.U. research project CECOFAD, whose objectives are to enhance our understanding of fishing effort units and improve the accuracy of purse-seine CPUE estimates. Skipjack stock assessments mainly depend on abundance indices derived from purse-seine fleets, thus standardisation of purse seiner CPUEs for this species is a priority. We follow a CPUE definition framework where three different types of CPUE are calculated to describe trends in number of schools, school detectability and catchability and school size. CPUE standardization is typically achieved with the development of GLM models; these estimates are often biased because the range of the fishing area changes from one year to the next. We compare CPUE trends derived from conventional GLMs with trends based on GLMMs, where the spatial explanatory variables are...

In this study, large-scale modes of atmospheric variability over the northern hemisphere are associated with chlorophyll-a concentration in the Mediterranean. Sea level atmospheric pressure, air temperature, wind speed and precipitation are used to account for climatic and local weather

The spatial distributions of these anomalies are ...
