The relative importance of lunar phase and environmental conditions on striped marlin ( Tetrapturus audax) catches in sport fishing

We used generalized additive mixed models to analyze data on striped marlin ( Tetrapturus audax) catches in Baja California sport fisheries (1987–1989) to investigate the relative importance of lunar phase, sea surface temperature (SST), El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) index, and vessel effects...

Zusammenfassung:	We used generalized additive mixed models to analyze data on striped marlin ( Tetrapturus audax) catches in Baja California sport fisheries (1987–1989) to investigate the relative importance of lunar phase, sea surface temperature (SST), El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) index, and vessel effects on catch per unit effort (CPUE). The results indicate that the moon phase has no or little (
