Abalone I: Analyzing mark-recapture-recovery data incorporating growth and delayed recovery. (English) Zbl 1209.62349

Summary: Abalone are semimobile marine gastropods that form the basis of Australia’s second most valuable fishery. A site off the coast of Port Arthur, Tasmania, was visited on six occasions. On each occasion, any unmarked live abalone found were marked with a unique identification number and were recorded. Any previously marked abalone found had its identification number and whether or not it was still alive recorded. This results in integrated mark-recapture-recovery data, as in E. A. Catchpole, S. N. Freeman, B. J. T. Morgan and M. P. Harris [Biometrics 54, No. 1, 33–46 (1998; Zbl 1058.62586)]. During the study period, abalone grew in size, and we model the survival of individuals as a function of their size, estimated from a fitted growth curve. The shells of dead animals are long lasting, and we extend existing methodology to allow for the possibility that an animal found dead may have been dead but overlooked for several visits.
