Purse Seine Set Information & Sampling

Objectives Describe how data from the Set Information and Catch Composition form can be used Describe the preferred method for estimating total catch Explain 2 methods of catch sampling List 5 species that are a priority for lengths and describe the types of lengths needed Demonstrate ability to complete the Set Info & Catch Comp form

Sampling priorities 1. Record vessel activity continuously each day on board; 2. Estimate total catch for each gear deployment; 3. Collect random samples for catch composition of each set and document species retained and discarded; 4. Describe all floating objects sighted, especially those involved in a fishing set; 5. Subsample catch for lengths; 6. Record all sightings and interactions with marine mammals and sea turtles; 7. Record fishing gear characteristics.

When to complete the Set Information & Catch Comp form? 2 sections Set Information - every set  Gear deployment & retrieval times  Total catch Catch composition – every set (few exceptions)  Spp #, weight, % retained, discard reason

Total Catch Estimation 3 methods  Weigh entire catch – small catches or brailer scale  Vessel estimate  Brail tally – tally * brailer capacity Photo courtesy of Steve Kink -

Total Catch Estimation Brail tally Total catch = brailer total * brailer capacity Tally of Full*1=A Tally of 7/8*0.875=B Tally of 3/4*0.75=C Tally of 2/3*0.667=D Tally of 1/2*0.5=E Tally of 1/3*0.333=F Tally of 1/4*0.25=G Tally of 1/8*0.125=H Brailer total = A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H If using ¼ increments, then A+C+E+H

Total Catch Estimation Tally Tally of Full5*1=5.00 Tally of 7/84*0.875=3.50 Tally of 3/415*0.75=11.25 Tally of 2/312*0.667=8.00 Tally of 1/28*0.5=4.00 Tally of 1/33*0.333=1.00 Tally of 1/41*0.25= Tally of 1/80*0.125=0.00 Total brailers33.00 x 800 kg/brailer 26,400 kg ≈ MT

Catch composition 4 sample type options 1. Whole brail 2. Partial brail (“spill sample”) 3. Whole set (ST=1) 4. Other (ST=8) – if you see marine mammals or turtles in the net but none are in the brail sample, document the number and leave sample weight blank

Catch composition Considerations  Brailer capacity  Storage space Whole brail (ST=6A)  Ideal for small capacity brailers  Randomly select 2-3 brailers / set  Identify, count & weigh all catch to species level

Activity What did you get for Total Catch? What percent of your catch sample was the predominate species?

Sampling Description Briefly describe the flow of fish: Catch was brailed onto the vessel using a 1000 kg brailer. The brailer was emptied directly into the fish hold

Sampling Description 2. Within Haul Composition Sampling: Population: All catch in the net Sampling Frame Type (spatial, temporal, other) and Units (include typical size of sample unit): Spatial sampling frame; a whole brailer was the sample unit (~1000 kg) Expected number (range) of sampling units in population: Targeted 2 sample units out of a total of 10-15_____________________ Random numbers generated by: Random number table_ Sampling Method:watched all brailers come aboard and asked crew to divert the brailers randomly selected for the catch composition sample. Once sample was collected, I tallied each species individually and either weighed them all (if there weren’t very many) or collected an average weight and multiplied by the tally (#pieces) to get species weights in the sample

Activity Length types by spp  Tuna – straight fork length (01S)  Sharks Fork distinct, straight fork length (01S) Fork not distinct, straight stretched length (13S)  Billfish – curved lower jaw to fork (05C) Sample biases What were the sampling challenges?

Summary How can data from the Set Information & Catch Composition form can be used? Describe the preferred method for estimating total catch Explain 2 methods of catch sampling List 5 species that are a priority for lengths. What types of lengths are needed for each?

Homework #1 If you used 30 brailers for your estimated total scoops, you would have selected a number between 1 and 15 (30/2) and sampled every 15 th thereafter For example  If 1 was your random start, sample brailers 1, 16 & 31  If 2 was your random start, sample brailers 2, 17 & 32  If 3 was your random start, sample brailers 3, 18 & 33  Etc…
