Abstract

Accurate and precise stock assessments are predicated on accurate and precise estimates of life history parameters, abundance, and catch across the range of the stock. In its continued efforts to improve the data used in stock assessments, the NOAA Pacific islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) implemented a Bottomfish Fishery-Independent Survey in Hawaii (BFISH) in 2016. The BFISH survey utilizes two gear types, Cooperative Research hook-and-line fishing operations (CRF) and the Modular Optical Underwater Survey System (MOUSS). Survey sampling is conducted annually, typically in the fall, surrounding the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), in accordance with a stratified-random sampling design. Under this design, the waters surrounding the MHI are gridded at 500 meter resolution. Each grid is given attributes of depth, slope, and seafloor hardness. Depth categories are Shallow (75-200 meters), Medium (200-300 meters) and Deep (300-400 meters). Slope categories are Low slope (0-10 degrees) and High (10-90 degrees). Seafloor categories are Hardbottom and Softbottom. Annual survey data are processed to produce relative and absolute abundance and biomass estimates for the Stock Assessment for the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 Bottomfish Complex.

CRF Activities have been conducted under contract with the Pacific Islands Fisheries Group (PIFG). Fishing methods are standardized among vessels. Each vessel conducts fishing operations with assigned grid cells for 30 minutes per cell. Each vessel deploys two fishing lines. Each line contains four standard size hooks. Half of the hooks are baited with squid, half with fish. Caught individuals are recorded to the lowest possible taxon on standardized paper datasheets. Each individual is measured (fork-length) in centimeters. Deep7 species are retained by PIFSC for biological analysis.

Purpose:

To generate catch data from cooperative research hook-and-line fishing operations to generate species-specific, size-structured, abundance estimates for use in the Stock Assessment for the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 Bottomfish Complex.
