Sailfish longline catch per unit effort (CPUE) distribution.
Distribution of longline CPUE (kilograms of sailfish caught per 1,000 hooks) by quarters (Q1: Dec-Feb, Q2: Mar-May, Q3: Jun-Aug, Q4: Sep-Nov) from Task II data reported at 1°x1° (magenta scale) and 5°x5° (blue scale) between 2000 and 2013. Over the same period, recapture positions (orange triangles) for conventional tag deployments (orange lines) were grouped by the quarter in which a tag was recaptured. Only deployments from three to twelve months are included. Utilization distribution (UD) contours (95%, green; 50% red) of tagged sailfish are also shown. Maps were generated n R 79 (v2.15.2).
