  4. Objective • This work examines inter-annual variability in the distribution of the fishery over the 13-year period 1993-2005. • The area occupied by the fleet is compared with variability in catches over the same period.

  5. Materials and Methods 1. Data sources • DMSP-OLS data ( Defence Meteorological Satellite Program-Operational Linescan System data ) • Fishery data 2. Analyses • Presence of fishing lights over the Patagonian shelf • Inter-annual variability in the spatial distribution of fishery • Relationship between fished area and catch

  6. DMSP-OLS data • Period: January to August 1993-2005 • Time: 23:00 - 03:00 local time • Region: the Patagonian Shelf, Southwest Atlantic • Resolution: approximately 2.7 km • Images: 496 (five single-pass images per month) National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) Geographical Information System (GIS)

  7. DMSP-OLS data • Digital number (DN) values: 0 (no radiance) to 63 (saturated radiance) • DN value of ≥ 30 lights from vessels lights reflected from the ocean surface

  8. Fishery data • Source: from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) • Period: 1993-2005 • Region: the Patagonian shelf • Data: annual catch

  9. Presence of fishing lights over the Patagonian shelf • This data composite was then used to identify the extent of the fishery and the distribution of areas of high and low fishing activity during the period 1993-2005. • The percentage frequency of occupation of each grid cell calculated for the 13-year period of the study.

  10. Inter-annual variability in the spatial distribution of fishery • PRIMER 5: • inter-annual variability in the distribution of the light-fishing fleet • Bray-Curtis similarities: • distributional similarity between years • Hovmoller plot: • fleet variability in the spatial extent and abundance of the fleet over time and latitude

  11. Relationship between fished area and catch • Regression analyses: • examine relationships between annual catch and the total fished area over the period 1993-2005

Inter-annual variability in the latitudinal extent of the I. argentinus fishing fleet on the Patagonian shelf. Legend shows the percentage occupation of each latitudinal band by the fleet in each year, 1993-2005. • a reduction of squid in the southern part of the species range has the greatest effect on the overall size of the fishery • variability to the north of 47◦S had less overall effect on the reported catch

  21. Illex argentinus • thermal gradient regions occurring between different water masses (Brunetti et al., 1998a; Waluda et al., 1999, 2001a,b; Bazzino et al., 2005; Sacau et al., 2005) • feeding aggregations of squid occurring at these fronts • different depths dependent on water temperature variability (Bazzino et al., 2005; Sacau et al., 2005) • variable distribution of the fleet over the 13 years

  22. Sea surface temperatures in the inferred hatching region during June and July of 2003 and 2004 were 0.4 and 0.9◦C warmer than average, respectively (over the period 1986-2005; BAS, unpublished data), which may have partially contributed to the reduced fishery yield during 2004 and 2005. • Despite the very low catches in 2004 and 2005 the fishery has recently shown some signs of recovery with catches of over 85,000 tonnes recorded from Falkland Islands waters in 2006. • short-lived, fast growing(Rodhouse, 2001)

  23. conclusion • long-term monitoring of this highly variable squid fishery Fig. 1. Distribution of fishing lights targeting Illex argentinus on the Patagonian Shelf, Southwest Atlantic, obtained from the Defence Meteorological Satellite Program-Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) for the period 1993-2005. Legend indicates the number of years in which fishing took place in each 2.7 km grid square.

  24. Prospective • I. argentinus is a major component of the Patagonian shelf food web, it is vitally important to manage the whole of the I. argentinus population in the region. • If this area is to be managed effectively, the whole of the species range must be considered in any stock management plan.
