The longline CPUE series for the three outer islands are GLMM standardised through to 2008. Year, month, area, trap-type, soak time, depth and year-area interactions are treated as fixed effects, and year-month interactions treated as a random effect. For Tristan, for which the available powerboat data are more limited, a GLM with year and month as fixed effects is applied. After initial increase, the standardised CPUE indices show drops over the most recent years for all islands except Gough, for which there is a steep recent increase.
