摘要: The headboat fishery is sampled separately from other recreational fisheries, and includes an area ranging from North Carolina to the Florida keys. The headboat fishery comprises large, for-hire vessels that charge a fee per angler and typically accommodate 660 passengers. With simple hook & line gear, passengers on these vessels frequently target hard bottom reefs, sampling many members of the snapper-grouper complex. Headboat records were examined in detail, and catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) standardization was employed in an effort to generate a fishery dependent index. Prior to analysis, data were examined in an effort to identify possible factors that might confound inferences about relative abundance.
