    Abstract

    Wide spatial distribution and temporal variations in abundance are unique features of fishery resources (Vivekanandan, 2005). The spatial variability of the stock reflects the pattern in fishing effort, thereby the fishing mortality owing to the target stock being aggregated or due to management restrictions, distance to port, vessel size, and the experience and habits of individual fishers (Yong, 2014). Ignoring this spatial variation can lead to serious biases in estimates of fishing mortality and yield (Hart 2001). Indexes related to catch rates or abundances are used often in the stock assessments or are the indexes for monitoring fish stocks despite the fact that the non-random spatial distribution of fish and fishing effort makes the interpretation of commercial catch rate (CPUE) difficult (NRC 1999). Such targeted deployment of fishing effort results in constant or increasing CPUE even though the stock size is decreasing till a point where the stock is at very low levels. A number of fish stock shave collapsed due to such misinterpretation of CPUE, the prominent being the case of northern cod (Hilborn and Walters 1992).
