Regularly- and occasionally-targeted species groups were handled differently in our survey and analysis. In order to account for seasonality and weather in determining the total number of fisher days for the entire year during which fishers targeted regularly (or respondents were asked to report daily) targeted species groups, how many days they typically fish in bad weather and good weather during a one month period in the summer season (3.5 months). the winter season (5 months) and the rainy season (3.5 months). Responses were used to determine the total annual fisher days per individual respondent by averaging reported good weather and bad weather days across the number of months in all seasons. To estimate the range of fisher's catch of regularly targeted species, Fs respondents were asked to report how many days in a two week period they typically got a good catch. bad catch or nor mal catch for each respective species group in both good weather and bad weather. These responses were normalized to calculate the probability (as a proportion of 1) of the catch being good. bad or normal on any given fisher day for each individual respondent. Aiming to avoid recollection issues regarding average catch in kilo- grams per fisher day, while taking into account the varying levels of catch on different days due to weather and other uncertainties, we asked respondents to report their average catch (in kilograms) on a good catch day, a bad catch day and a normal catch day for
each regularly caught species groups (such as average priced and catch respondents cheap finfish or octopus). Thus, each individual per unit effort CPUE for each regularly caught species group rs was:
