Further Test fishing analyses for Nightingale Island

open access: yes, 2013
Because there was no pre-OLIVA fishing in the month of January 2011, the simpler earlier approach of Johnston (2011) to analyse test fishing data by month to assess the OLIVA impact needs to be refined to be able to include data from January 2012.

Updated 2021 GLMM -standardised lobster CPUE from Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands

open access: yes, 2021
The longline CPUE series for Inaccessible island is GLMM standardised through to 2020. For Nightingale, the fishery was closed for the 2011 season and catches were set at precautionary levels for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The Nightingale GLMM model thus excludes 2011 and 2012, although it now includes 2013-2020 for this island. Year, month, area, trap-
