The catch in a fishery is described under the heading fishing effort which is measured in terms of the total number of vessels or vessel-days per unit time, the number of nets, lines, traps hauled, etc. A rough indication of the current stock level in a fish population is given by the ratio of the catch divided by the fishing effort. For example, if the fish population in a pond be dense, the catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) is expected to be large while if the population in the...
