Abstract | 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 (<1% of variance explained) influence on CPUE. In contrast, both SST (10%) and ENSO (6%) influenced CPUE positively. While most of the variation in CPUE remains unexplained (53%), the vessel identity explained small (ca. 1.5%) but significant amount of variance in CPUE. Hence, sport fishermen wishing to maximise their striped marlin catches would best plan their trips on the basis of weather conditions and boat/crew identities, rather than on the basis of lunar phase. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
