4 Abstract The research vessel (RV) Mirabilis was used to conduct the hake swept-area biomass survey from the 11th of January until the 21st of February 2016. A total of 216 trawl stations were conducted during the survey, covering the bottom depths between 88 and 682 m. The total hake biomass decreased by 10% (1 115 000 to 1 109 000 tonnes) between January/February

2015 survey and January/February 2016 survey. The non-fishable biomass has increased by

2%, while the fishable biomass decreased by 32%. The total biomass index of M. capensis decreased by 1.8% from 839 000 to 824 000 tonnes between 2015 and the 2016 estimates and its non-fishable biomass has increased by 17% while the fishable biomass has decreased by

36%. The total biomass of M. paradoxus has decreased by 33% (from 276 000 to 185 000 tonnes). The fishable biomass of that species has decreased by 15% and the non-fishable also decreased by 43%. The recruitment of M. capensis detected during the 2016 survey (the 2014 year class) were around 6.6 billion fish, above the long-term average. Areas of high density concentrations for M. capensis (>30 t/NM2) were found almost along the whole Namibian coast, except south of south of 28°S. The deep-water hake (M. paradoxus) was found in the deeper waters, with highest concentrations of densities (>30 t/NM2) found around Lüderitz and around Mowe Bay and Ambrose Bay. Intercalibration results showed that the catches for

M.paradoxus were similar between the two vessels whereas Mirabilis caught more

M.capensis overall because of two very large catches. Test for differences between length frequencies showed there were significant differences but for very low p-values, M.capensis

(p = 4.134e-08) and M.paradoxus (p= 0.006512).

The oceanographic conditions during the January/February 2016 hake survey reflected strong surface warming due to the generally weak southerly winds as well as strong summer insolation. Bottom temperatures over the shelf were also warmer than average in the north but average over the southern Namibian shelf for the summer period. The bottom low-oxygen waters were widespread over the inner shelf of most of the Namibian coastline and even impinged onto the outer shelf region. 5 1. Introduction

1.1 Background Namibian hake biomass surveys have been conducted since 1990. Up to 1999, the Norwegian research vessel, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen (Nansen), was used to conduct these surveys. In 1998 and 1999, the Nansen and Namibian commercial trawlers did parallel surveys, using the same trawl gears and applying the same methods, in order to enable inter-calibration between the commercial trawlers and the Nansen time series data. Namibia took over the responsibilities for conducting the hake biomass surveys with commercial vessels, as from 2000 (Table 1.1). Inter-calibration, through parallel trawling, between commercial vessels and Nansen were carried out each time a new commercial vessel was chosen to conduct the survey, in order to facilitate comparability of the data series. In 2016 the survey was conducted with the RV Mirabilis inter-calibrating with Dr. Fridtjof Nansen (See Appendix 7 for inter-calibration report). The 2016 survey was the 17th organised and conducted solely by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources and the 1st conducted through the use of the new R/V Mirabilis. This survey was also the first to combine a hake survey with a full environmental survey.

1.4 Narrative The first leg started on Monday, January 11, 2016 with the vessel leaving Walvis Bay port at 18h00. We got to the first station at Hollands Bird on 12th January and work started at about 07h00 without parallel trawling with the Nansen since they have not received their fishing license, hence they only joined us from the 7th station. In order to have the environment stations covered, a few very deep stations (>600) were done late at night.

The hake bottom trawl nets were labelled BT1-BT4 and this labelling was also used on the Nansen forms. The first net BT1 tore while shooting at the very first trek and was hence replaced with the BT2. With this net floats were attached to attempt to compensate for the weight of the trawl-mounted CTD (Wieland et al., 2014), however this did not seem to have made much of a difference. At station 75 one of the officers suggested changing to BT3 since he felt that BT2 sinks too fast. This net was used for a few stations until it tore and was once again replaced by BT2. The survey interchangeably used BT2, 3 and 4 as the nets often got torn. A symmetry sensor was also attached to the net (measures the skeweness of the net). For purposes of parallel trawling ( and also during the second lag with no parallel trawling) Scanmar data was recorded every 10 minutes. The first leg of the survey ended on the 30th January , having covered 115 stations.

The second leg started on Wednesday 3rd February 2016. The vessel left Walvisbay port at 09h00 and work started at the first station on the morning of Thursday February 4th, 2016 using BT4. The survey progressed well, covering two environmental lines and a few stations between the lines. On the 13-02-2016, the first station in the morning (station 179) BT4 got badly damamaged by flat sharp rocks on the bottom and was replaced with BT3. On the same day (13-02-2016), round 15H00 the vessel sailed back to Walvis Bay to drop off the third engineer, who was suffering from a swelling on the head. The survey then commenced on the

8 15-02-2016 around lunch time. The last survey station was conducted around 15H00 on the 20-02-2016 and the vessel sailed back to Walvis Bay. The survey ended with the vessel arriving in Walvis at the jetty at about 16h00 on Sunday, 21st February 2016. The cruise track and stations layout (Fig 1.1) followed was more or less the same as that of the January- February 2000 survey.

9 2. Materials and Methods

2.1 Introduction The survey methodology followed during this cruise was the same as used in the past (Voges 1999; Iilende et al. 2000; Burmeister et al. 2001-2002; Kainge et al. 2003-2013). The methods used to calculate the biomass estimates were based on depth stratification, as recommended during the 2000 BENEFIT Stock Assessment Workshop (Anon. 2000).

Since Namibia took sole responsibility of conducting hake biomass surveys on commercial vessels, no acoustic measurements were recorded during the surveys, thus no sA values for individual trawl hauls could be estimated. The biomass estimates presented in this report therefore excluded the acoustic measurements done prior to 2000. Also, Juvenile hake (MERME90 or MERME91) are always excluded from the analysis as they are assumed to have a different ecology than the rest of the population and are usually not available to the bottom trawl, but caught incidentally in midwater (Iilende et. al. 2001). There was always no definitive cut-off for juvenile classifications in the past. However, for the recent years biomass analysis, the cut-off was at 15 cm, based on distinctive cohorts available during the survey.

2.2 Trawl and vessel equipment A Gisund Super two-panel bottom trawl with head length 31 m, footrope 47 m and the vertical net opening 4.5 to 5.5 m were used (Appendix 1). The distance between the wings during towing was about 18-21 m. The outer lining of the cod-end mesh was 20 mm while that of the inner-net was 10 mm. The sweeps were 40 m long and connected the trawl to the Steinshamn doors, which had a total area of 6.7 m2 and a mass of 1 800 kg.

Trawl speed was on average 3.0 knots and trawling time was generally 30 minutes (except at times when trawling is interrupted due to a large catch, rough/rocky or muddy bottom). Thus a distance of approximately 1.5 nautical miles (NM) was generally covered at each station. The length of the trawl wire (wire out) was about 2.6 times the bottom depth on the shelf and about 2 on the slope, deeper than 450-m bottom depth, but also a little less as you go deeper. The course (direction) of trawling operations was decided upon based on the bottom topography and the bottom current, but in general it was in a northerly direction. An 9-m constraining rope was attached between the warps, 150 m in front of the doors. This rope is

10 intended to keep the distance between the doors constant at about 50 m, irrespective of trawl depth or wind direction.

All aspects of the trawling were monitored by SCANMAR trawl sensors, which were used to determine the trawl depth, bottom temperature, amount of catch in cod-end, vertical opening of the net, and the distance between the doors during trawling.

2.3 Survey design The survey followed the same design since 1990, a systematic transect design, with a semi- random distribution of stations along transects. Stations within transects were selected in such a way that each 100-m bottom depth had at least one station. In the extreme south where the shelf is very wide, stations on the shelf were about 10 nm (nautical miles) apart. Transects ran perpendicular to the Namibian coastline, and were about 20-25 NM apart, with transect lengths ranging from 20 to 80 NM.

All hauls shallower than 400 m were done during daytime, generally between 06h00 and 19h00 hours local time (GMT+2), because hake (especially M. capensis) is known to lift off the bottom at night (Iilende et. al. 2001) possibly in search of prey. In deeper waters, where night lifting of hakes, M. paradoxus, from the bottom is considered to be minimal (Ingólfsson et. al. 2005), trawling was also conducted during the night.

2.4 Data recording At each trawl station, in addition to station and operation information, catch composition by weight and number of the whole catch or a sample are taken. Also as far as possible, all commercially important species collected are measured for length frequency analysis and about 20 fish are taken for detailed biological analysis i.e. length, weight, sex, gonad maturity, gonad weight and otolith. The data was stored in the new Nan-Sis database (Strømme 1992), a database of all surveys conducted in the Benguela region since 1990 by the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen. Otoliths were placed in vials for processing on land. Collection of environmental data (temperature, oxygen and salinity) was done by technical staff from the Environment Subdivision.

11 2.5 Data analysis 2.5.1 Biomass estimates

Unless otherwise stated, the procedures for the calculation of hake biomass estimates (by swept-area method) that follow below were taken from Strømme (1992). The swept area per hour at station i, SAi was calculated by:

 b  SAi  di *  , where  ti  d was the log or trawl distance (nm), which is the product of trawl speed (kt) and trawl duration (min); b was the gear width (m), measured as a distance between the wings of the trawl and it was assumed to be 18.5 m; and ti was the duration of the trawl (minutes).

For conversion of catch rates to fish densities, b is assumed to be equal to the effective fishing area and the catchability factor (q) is equal to 1. Hake density was assumed to be proportional to the mean catch rate (kg/hr). Thus the density was equal to the catch per area swept at a specific station. This implies that all fish in the area-swept by the trawl are assumed caught by the net.

Since b is in metres and t in minutes, the swept-area becomes:

b /1852  2 SAi  di * nm / hour  ti / 60 The surveyed area (only 100 – 600 m bottom depth) was subdivided into 100-m depth strata (Appendix 2). For each of these 100-m depth strata the mean density was calculated and the total biomass, variance and CV were calculated.

ni  yij j1 The stratum mean density ( y i ) by: yi  , ni

where yij represented the individual densities in stratum i and ni the number of individual densities in stratum i (Cochran 1977).

L  Ai yi The stratified mean density ( y ) was calculated by: y  i1 , str str A

12 where L was number of strata, A the total area, Ai the area of the stratum i, and i the individual strata (Cochran 1977). The total biomass was thus calculated by:

B  ystr A ,

The variance of the biomass and the standard error (SE) of the stratified mean were also calculated and the precision for the estimates/coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated by: SE CV  (Zar 1999). B iomass

The total biomass calculations were based on depth stratification and this stratification was chosen as both species have a depth-related distribution (Macpherson and Duarte 1991, Burmeister 2001) and survey sampling covered the main depth ranges of the species.

2.5.2 Species Distribution

Geographical distribution maps were plotted using the Surfer 9 software program. Trawl station catch rates data, converted automatically in the database to densities (t/NM2), were exported from the Nan-Sis software program (version 1.9) and were plotted against geographic positions and depth to determine the concentrations of fish at each station, along the coastal shelf.

2.5.3 Size composition Length frequency (by station) data were also exported from the Nan-Sis software package and raised to the total catch of that particular station. The station length frequency distributions were combined to give depth stratum distributions, which were then raised to the biomass of the strata. The sum of the strata frequency distributions gave the overall length distribution of fish in each length class during the survey. These were plotted using the Statistica 7.1 software program.

2.5.4 Recruitment estimates Incoming recruits to the stock of M. capensis were estimated from the numerical abundance of the cohort of fish with modal length of about 22 cm (ranging between 17 and 27 cm), which are assumed to be about 1.5-2 years old when picked up by the survey bottom trawl. These fish are believed to have been spawned two years earlier (in 2014) and the numbers, in millions, are presented as the recruitment index from the 2016 survey (i.e. the 2014 cohort).

13 This was done for M. capensis only, as M. paradoxus spawning and recruitment areas are considered to be mainly in South African waters, and to some extent in the southern part of Namibia (Burmeister 2000, Strømme et al. 2004, 2006, Kainge et al 2007, Jansen et al 2015, Stromme et al 2016).

2.5.6 Hydrography A Seabird SBE9plus CTD instrument with Seabird compact water sampler was used to measure the temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen at 39 stations along five fixed transects as well as to collect four to eight water samples per station for calibration purposes during the 2016 hake biomass survey. Additional oceanographic data was collected via a Seabird SBE19plus CTD attached to the net during 190 trawl stations. The trawl CTD measured the turbidity, fluorescence and irradiance in addition to the usual temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen.

In total 167 water samples were collected to calibrate the dissolved oxygen measurements of the SBE9plus CTD-O by performing Winkler titrations with a Metrohm Dosimat. Fifteen trawl CTD stations coincided with fixed oceanographic monitoring stations; thus this data could also be used to calibrate the oxygen sensor of the trawl CTD.

The Surfer software was used to draw horizontal profiles of temperature and dissolved oxygen.Weekly averaged wind estimates as well as weekly SST anomaly imagery for January and February 2016 were used to discuss the surface wind and surface temperature conditions during the survey.

14 3. Results and Discussion?

3.1 Biomass estimates A total of 216 trawl stations were conducted during the survey, covering the bottom depths between 88 and 682 m. Of these, 199 trawl stations were valid for swept-area biomass calculations (usually ≥10 minutes of trawling). A trawl is considered invalid for biomass calculations if it was either interrupted after less than 10 minutes mainly due to unfavorable bottom conditions (mud, rocks) or too much jellies. Also as stated earlier, only stations in 100-600 m bottom depths were used for biomass calculations.

The total biomass index of M. capensis decreased by 1.8% from 839 000 to 824 000 tonnes (coefficient of variation, CV, = 15%) between the 2015 and 2016 estimates. Non-fishable biomass have increased by 17% and while the fishable has decreased by 36% (Table 3.1 and Table 3.2). The total biomass of M. paradoxus has decreased 33% (from 276 000 to 185 000 (CV = 20%). The fishable biomass has decreased by 15% and the non fishable by 43% (Table 3.1 and Table 3.3).

3.2 Species distribution A high biomass of M. capensis was observed in the 201-300 m depth zone during the 2016 survey, as compared to 2015, while there was little or no sign of M. paradoxus in the 201-300 m depth zone (Fig. 3.2). Proportion wise, M. capensis dominates the two shallower depth zones (100-300 m) while M. paradoxus dominates from 401 and deeper, with no M. capensis found deeper than 500 m. The two species occur almost on an equal basis in the intermediate depths (301-400 m). It should be noted, however, that these figures are based on the stratified biomass of the entire coast and not on a specific area.

During the 2016 survey, areas of high density concentrations for M. capensis (>30 t/nm2) were found along the entire Namibian coast, except south of 28°S, while the deep-water hake was found in the deeper waters, with highest concentrations of densities (>30 t/nm2) found around Luderitz, Ambrose Bay and Mowe Bay (Fig. 3.3). The link between distribution of densities, temperature and oxygen is described and shown in Figs. 3.12 and 3.13 of this report.

3.3 Size composition

The overall size composition of M. capensis shows an increase in the biomass of fish between 15 and 23 cm, and a decline in fish larger then that (Fig. 3.4). The 10 cm cohort has however not changed much and is still evident in the population. The M. paradoxus size structure also shows a decline in most sizes except fish of 16 and 23 cm as well as 40-45 cm (Fig. 3.6). This is also reflected in the abundance of the same sized fish.

Figure 3.7: Comparison between the abundance (in numbers) per 1-cm length class of M. paradoxus for surveys in 2015 and 2016.

It is evident that the larger parts of the biomass of M. capensis is made up of smaller fish, less than 36 cm, while that of M. paradoxus is more spread with between 20 and 50 cm fish dominating. M. paradoxus larger than 60 cm are not available in the Namibian waters but have been reported to be present in the South African waters (Stromme et al., 2016).

1 Recruitment estimates of M. paradoxus cannot be easily estimated, because the spawning activity of this stock is not yet well understood in the Namibian waters. It is believed that the nursery areas of this stock are both in Namibian and South African waters, and hence cannot easily be estimated. The recruitment estimates herein are only for M. capensis

22 assumed to be about 1.5-2 years old when caught by the survey bottom trawl gear. The recruitment of M. capensis detected during the 2016 survey (the 2014 year class) were around 6.6 billion fish, just above the long-term average (Fig. 3.8). These fish are expected to fully recruit to the fishery by the second half of 2017, although some of these may occasionally be available to the bottom trawl gear.

The strength of the M. paradoxus cohort cannot easily be estimated, as the species does not appear to spawn in the Namibian waters (Burmeister 2005, Kainge et. al. 2007) but is confirmed to spawn in the west coast of South Africa (Jansen et. al. 2015).

3.5 Some Biological parameters Biological parameters for hake are summarized in a Table 3.3 below. The pooled data show that M. capensis can reach a maximum length (L∞) 132cm and M. paradoxus around 119cm. These two species also differ by as much as 1 year (M. paradoxus maturing later) in reaching a length at which fifty percent of the stock has matured. Growth rates (K) show that M.paradoxus have faster growth rates than M.capensis while M.capensis attains higher lengths. Age data from successfully read otoliths were converted to age length keys (ALK) and these are applied to both survey and commercial length frequencies to produce catch at age (CAA) data which are subsequently fed into stock assessment models.

A description of the immature and mature stages for M. capensis and M. paradoxus has been determined such that Stages 0 (unknown/juvenile), 1 (male / female inactive), 2 (active), 3 (ripe), 4 (ripe-and-running) and 5 (spent). Stages 0 to 1 were considered immature and stages 2 to 5 were considered mature.

Maturity at length from the 2016 survey (Figure 3.9a) showed that M. capensis has an early onset of 50 % maturity at a length of 24 cm (1 year old) and a later onset for M. paradoxus at a length of 35 cm (close to 3 years), these results do not differ much from the pooled data (Table 3.3).

The length weight relationship (Figures 3.9b) showed that overall M.capensis was in a slightly worse condition than M.paradoxus with a b value of 2.95 to that of M.paradoxus of just a little over 3.1. The M.paradoxus species reflects over all better body condition as seen in the pooled data in Table 3.3. No differences in length-weigth relationship was observed for smaller individuals (less than 35cm) however larger individuals showed as much as 1000g difference in weight between the two species with M.paradoxus gainin more weight per growth in length.

3.6 Environmental parameters The weekly satellite wind estimates (Fig. 3.10) present weak to moderate southerly winds of 5-8 m/s along the Namibian coast during the first week of the survey (10-16 January 2016). These winds died down completely during the second survey week and remained weak during the week of 24-30 January. During leg 2 of the survey the southerly to southwesterly winds picked up again slightly to 5-8 m/s off northern Namibian and strengthened to 9-11 m/s along the whole coastline during the final survey week.

The sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly images show that during the first survey week near average (central to north) to slightly cooler than average (south) SST conditions existed along the Namibian coast, while a strong positive temperature anomaly of ~2°C was present off southern Angola. During week two the SST become ~0.5-1°C warmer than average off Namibia and during the third week this positive anomaly intensified to 2-2.5°C over most of the Namibian shelf. The positive anomaly persisted off Namibia and southern Angola during the second leg of the survey although it weakened slightly to 1.5-2°C (Fig. 3.11).

The distribution of hake is overlaid on the bottom temperature distribution during the biomass survey in January/February 2016 (Figure 3.12). As found most years, Cape hake occurred over a wide area of the shelf mainly encompassing bottom temperatures of 8 to 12°C, going up to 14°C in the far north, while deep-water hake was found over a narrower, deeper shelf area with bottom temperature range of 6-10°C. The bottom temperatures over the shelf were average in the south and warmer than average over the central to northern Namibian shelf.

The distribution of low-oxygen waters (≤0.5 ml/l O2) was extensive over the inner shelf during the January/February 2016 hake biomass survey, stretching from 18°30’S to 26°20’S, and even impinged onto the outer shelf (deeper than 200m depth) off northern and southern Namibia. The bottom waters of the outer shelf off central Namibia were slightly more oxygenated at 0.5-<2 ml/l O2 while the far south had bottom oxygen levels ranging from 0.5-3 ml/l O2. The Cape hake distribution generally concentrated outside or at the edge of the hypoxic (≤0.5-<2.0 ml/l O2) bottom water areas, while the deep-water hake was confined to

27 the deep, more oxygenated offshore waters (>1ml/l O2) which prevent it from being exposed to low-oxygen conditions (Fig. 3.13).

4. Survey trends of some by-catch species (1990-2016)

4.1 Introduction In many fisheries, the focus of attention has shifted from the traditional single-species management concerns to a new awareness of effects that may cause far reaching ecological impacts on target and non-target species (Gristina et al.2006 and references therein).

It is widely documented that fishing-induced changes on marine ecosystems are wide-ranging and comprise both direct (abundance decrease, changes in size and species composition, modifications of population parameters) ( Pauly et al., 1998; Jennings et al., 1999; Stevens et al., 2000), and indirect effects (trophic shift, bottom disturbance) which act on short and long- term temporal scales (Alverson et al., 1994; Kennelly, 1995; Hall, 1999).

28 However, knowledge of the retained and discarded catches in a fishery and how they vary spatially, temporally and among different fishing operations is limited. This knowledge is crucial for identification of the potential impacts of fishing on fish stocks and ecosystems, as well as assessing potential interactions among fisheries competing for the same resources. One quarter of the world’s total commercial catch is discarded because it is not the right species or size (Cook 2001).

Demersal trawling and long lining are methods of fishing that targets fish species that live on the bottom of the ocean. The majority of the hake and/or hake products from Namibia seen in supermarkets (local and abroad) are caught by these methods. Unfortunately, these methods are not exceptionally discriminating and many species aside from hake are caught during fishing. Species which are caught but which were not targeted are called by catches.

By-catches associated with many fisheries globally, have been highlighted in the media by conservation organisations and scientists resulting in some by catches becoming dominant factors in management strategies of some fisheries (Jennings, 2003). Extracted data from over 800 published records by Alverson et al. (1994) has revealed that trawl fisheries accounted for most of the records of by-catches (996) followed by drift nets and gill nets(232), line fisheries (150), pot (830) and purse seine (82) fisheries.

While some forms of by-catch cannot be avoided, it is widely accepted that some knowledge of the by catch is crucial and can provide baseline assessment of the feasibility of mitigation measures.

This section will therefore be looking at the trends and distribution of some by-catches associated with Namibian hakes. It is aimed at providing a reference for management and monitoring of by-catches as well as the basis for a regularized reporting system for by-catches to accompany annual reports on landings and status of fisheries .This is because by-catch is clearly an important component of fisheries impacts on marine ecosystems and should therefore be closely monitored and ultimately carefully managed.

4.2 Kingklip Genypterus capensis (Smith, 1847) commonly known as Kingklip is caught as by-catch from Namibian hake fishery. It commands a high price and is retained along with the hake. This species has been caught during hake biomass surveys mostly from around 24° southward at

29 100 to 600 m water depth in Namibian water (MFMR 2006, Unpublished data). Its yearly CPUE has been increasing on average since 1990 stabilising around 8kg/h since 2003. In the time period since 2003 exceptionally high catch rates were observed in 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2016. The highest CPUE recorded was in 2011 (15.8 kg/h) and the lowest occurred in 1990 (0.73 kg/h) (Fig. 4.1). The average CPUE across years is 7.5 kg/h and the catch rate was 11.8kg/h for the 2016 survey.

4.3 West Coast Sole Austroglossus microlepis (Bleeker, 1863), commonly known as Sole is of family Soleidae (Soles), order Pleuronectiformes (flatfishes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This species has been encountered by hake biomass surveys along the entire Namibian coast at 100 m to 400 m water depth (MFMR, 2006, Unpublished data). Its yearly survey CPUE has been increasing on average with the lowest recorded CPUE 1991 and highest CPUE recorded in the year 2009 (Fig. 4.2). The average is 2.1 kg/h while the 2016 survey should higher catch rates at 3.7 kg/h.

4.4 Dentex Commercially valued Dentex macrophthalmus (Bloch, 1791), commonly known as large- eyed dentex, is of family Sparidae (Porgies), order Perciformes (perch-likes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This species has been encountered by hake biomass surveys from 22° northward in Namibian water, at 100 m to 400 m water depth (MFMR, 2006, Unpublished data). Its yearly CPUE had increased from 1990 to 1998 when it reached its maximum catch rate for the time series (127.3 kg/h). It has been decreasing since 1999 however since 2000 CPUE’s above 30kg/h were only observed in 2009, 2011 and 2013 (Fig. 4.3). The 2016 survey was almost as poor as the lowest CPUE, seen in 2007 at 3.3kg/h.

4.5 Angel Fish (Atlantic Pomfret) Brama brama (Bonnaterre, 1788) commonly known as Angel fish is of family Bramidae (Pomfrets), order Perciformes (perch-likes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This species occasionally comes close to shore (May and Maxwell, 1986). It is a seasonal migrant occurring in small schools, movements known to be temperature-related. It feeds on small fishes, cephalopods, amphipods, and euphausiids opportunistically.

This species is found from 20° southward in Namibian waters at 100 to 500 m water depth (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). Its CPUE depicts no clearly defined increasing/decreasing trend for most of the years but the highest CPUE was recorded in 2015 (11.7kg/h) and lowest CPUE was recorded in 2001 (0.11 kg/h) (Fig.4.4). The 2016 CPUE level was 0.8 kg/h just below the annual average of 1.5 kg/h.

4.6 Horse Mackerel Trachurus capensis (Castelnau, 1861) is of family Carangidae (Jacks and pompanos), order Perciformes (perch-likes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This species is found mainly over the continental shelf, often over sand bottoms (Bianchi et al.1993). It normally rises to feed in surface waters at night and found close to the bottom during the day. Juveniles feed mainly on copepods while adults prey on fish and a wide range of invertebrates (Bianchi et al.1993).

This species is encountered along the entire Namibian coast at 100m to 350 m water depth. (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). Its CPUE has been higher than 1990 level of 217 kg/h for most years although most years seem to fluctuate between 200-300 kg/h (Fig.4.5). In 1996, 2001, 2009 and 2010 the CPUE reached above 400 kg/h reaching its peak in 2010 with 577 kg/h. The lowest CPUE was recorded in 2002 at a level of 106 kg/h and the 2016 survey was slightly below the average of 259 kg/h.

4.7 Jacopever Helicolenus dactylopterus (Delaroche, 1809) commonly known as jacopever is of family sebastidae (Rockfishes, rockcods and thornyheads), subfamily Sebastinae, order Scorpaeniformes (scorpionfishes and flatheads) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This species is found in soft bottom areas of the continental shelf and upper slope. It feeds on both benthic and pelagic organisms (crustaceans, fishes, cephalopods, and echinoderms) (Hureau and Litvinenko, 1986).

From biomass surveys, this species has been found along the entire Namibian coast with the highest CPUE concentration at around 18° south, inhabiting water depth from 100m to 700 m (MFMR, 2006, Unpublished data). Its CPUE trend had increased on average since 1990 until 1994 to 2007 when it fluctuated between 40 and 60 kg/h (except for 2001 and 2003 which were slightly higher than 60 kg/h). As of 2008 CPUE remained above 60 kg/h except for 2011. The 1990 level is the lowest recorded whilst 2008 and 2014 recorded the highest catch rates of 86 kg/h (Fig.4.6). In 2016 the CPUE was 63.2 kg/h just above the mean of 52.5 kg/h.

4.8 Cape Monk Lophius vomerinus (Valenciennes, 1837) commonly known as monk is of family Lophiidae order Lophiiformes (anglerfishes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). It is found on the deeper continental shelf and upper slope (Bianchi et. al.1993). This species feeds mainly on bottom-living fishes (Bianchi et al.1993; McPherson and Roel, 1987) often on pilchard, round herring and horse mackerel (Bianchi et. al.1999).

Monk has been recorded throughout the entire Namibian waters at 100m to 700 m water depth (MFMR, 2006, Unpublished data). This species experienced an up and down CPUE trend since 1990, however a steady increase has been seen since 2011 with the highest CPUE recored in 2015 at 54.8 kg/h and 2016 recorded the second highest CPUE at 39.2 kg/h (Fig. 4.7). Low catch rates were observed between 1990-1993 hardly reaching above 4 kg/h.

4.9 Snoek Thyrsites atun (Euphrasen, 1791) commonly known as snoek is of family Gempylidae (Snake mackerels), order Perciformes (perch-likes) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). It feeds on pelagic crustaceans (Euphausia, Nyctiphanes), cephalopods and fishes (Nakamura and Parin, 1993) like anchovy and pilchard (Bianchi et. al.1999). Schools of snoek are found near the bottom or midwater and sometimes even at the surface at night (Nakamura and Parin, 1993). Thyrsites atun has been recorded from 22° southward, at 100 m to 350 m water depth in Namibian water (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). The average catch rate for the time series is 3.28 kg/h with most years CPUE’s falling between 0.5 and 3.0 kg/h. Good catch rates were seen in 1990, 1994, 1996, 2000 and 2011 all above 3 kg/h. An extraordinary good CPUE was in 2011 with 30 kg/h, this is the only year that the catch rate went even above 10 kg/h

36 (Fig.4.8) Its CPUE increased from 0.9 kg/h to 3.2 kg/h between 2015 and 2016.

4.10 Flying Squid Todarodes sagittatus (Lamarck, 1798) commonly known as flying squid is of family Ommastrephidae, order Teuthida and class Cephalopoda. This squid is known to feed on plankton after hatching, but the adults are active predators which feed on crustaceans, fish and other squid. Todarodes sagittatus is an active swimmer and moves rapidly through the water by jet propulsion. This species is found throughout the entire Namibian water at 100 m to 700m water depth (MFMR, Unpublished data). A steady increasing trend was seen between 1990 and 1999, from 2000 to 2003 catch rates started declining to almost 6 kg/h. In 2004 this increased to just above 17 kg/h and has since started decling until 2014. Apart from the 2004-2014 decline 2008 and 2010 recorded the highest CPUE’s, both above 20 kg/h (Fig.4.9). Both 2015 and 2016 showed values above the 2014 level.

4.11 Alfonsino Beryx splendens (Lowe, 1834) commonly known as splendid alfonsino is of family Berycidae (Alfonsinos), order Beryciformes (sawbellies) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). This specie inhabits the outer shelf (180 m) and slope to at least 1,300 m depth moving further from the bottom at night. It is often found over seamounts (Paxton, 1999) and underwater ridges (Dubochkin and Kotlyar, 1989). Alfonsino feeds mainly on fish, crustaceans and cephalopods (Dubochkin and Kotlyar, 1989).

This species is rarely caught during hake biomass surveys but it has been encountered from 22° southward at 300 m to 600 m water depth in Namibian water (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). Its recorded survey CPUE has been stable since 1990 but exceptionally higher CPUEs were recorded in 1997 (the highest recorded), 2000, 2001, 2011 and 2015 (Fig 4.11). The 2016 CPUE was 0.23 kg/h which is in the normal range for the catch rates of this species.

4.12 Cape Gurnard Chelidonichthys capensis (Cuvier, 1829) is of family Triglidae (Searobins), order Scorpaeniformes (scorpionfishes and flatheads) and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). It normally feeds on fishes (Heemstra 1986) and crustaceans (Fischer et al. 1990) and is considered an excellent food fish (Heemstra 1986).

Records from Namibian hake Biomass surveys show this species being encountered throughout the Namibian marine waters from 100 m to 300 m water depth (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). Apart from 2000 and 2002, the period between 1990 and 2003 all recorded CPUE’s below 8 kg/h, and most years after that period recorded higher than 8 kg/h with 2009 being especially poor (Fig.4.12). The highest record was in 2011 with 17.9 kg/h and the minimum in 1991. In 2016 it was 14.2 kg/h and very similar to 2015.

4.13 Deep-sea Red Crab Chaceon maritae (Manning and Holthuis 1981) commonly known as West African geryon is of family Geryonidae and sub-order Brachyuran. This species inhabits muddy bottoms at depths between 100m to 950 m (Bianchi et al. 1999). In Namibian waters this species is commercially caught with pots and as by-catch of Namibian demersal fisheries.

The species is found along the entire Namibian coast with the highest concentration from 24° northward (MFMR, 2006, unpublished data). Records from hake biomass surveys show this species being mostly encountered at 400 m to 700 m water depth. Considering the period between 1990 and 2009, the CPUE was exceptionally higher in 2005 and 2006. Since 2010 the trend increased considerably to the highest record in 2016 of 21.4 kg/h seeing that bwteen 1990 and 2009 the CPUE remained below 2 kg/h excluding 2005 and 2006 (Fig 4.13).

47 Appendix 5 – Specifications for the vessel used in the research surveys of hake 1. A Freezer vessel that can be out at sea for at least three weeks at a time, and have a large enough crew to work 24 hours a day. 2. The vessel should have the following specifications: - minimum of 1600 horse power, - minimum length of 56 m and, - width of 11m.

3. SCANMAR system for surveillance of the trawl is of utmost importance and the sensors needed are: - trawl eye sensors, - trawl-depth and temperature sensors, - door-spread sensors and - catch sensors. 4. Enough space on deck for a 20 feet container to fit. The container, where sampling of the whole catch will take place, needs to be equipped with: - lights (for night sampling), - water, (sea and fresh) - power supply for scales and - two tables – one for fish sampling and the other for administrative work. 5. Suitable office working space fitted with a table for a computer, and a chair. 6. A safe space on deck where a portable cable wire (length = 1000 m, diameter = 12 mm) and an electric motor can be installed to lower the CTD instrument. A “hammerlock” and “swivel” should be used to connect the wire cable to the CTD instrument. The CTD, which shall be used at every trawl station, also needs a safe storage space on deck and fresh water to clean it after every use. 7. An additional depth sensor, to be attached to the CTD in order to monitor the depth at which the instrument is lowered, will be needed. 8. Enough accommodation and clean sanitary facilities for 12 scientific personnel (both men and women). 9. In addition, the vessel owners should also be responsible for the transport of the gear, nets and trawl doors from the storage place in Walvis Bay to and from the vessel.

INTERCALIBRATION CRUISES OF R/V MIRABILIS (NAMIBIA) AND R/V DR FRIDTJOF NANSEN (FAO/NORWAY), 11-30 JANUARY 2016. PRELIMINARY REPORT

Introduction The EAF-Nansen project offers an opportunity for developing countries to receive support from FAO for the implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) management. The project assists participating countries to develop national and regional frameworks for EAF, and acquire additional knowledge on their marine ecosystems for use in planning and monitoring. The project is a partnership between the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), Institute of Marine Research of Bergen, Norway (IMR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support participating countries to fulfil their commitment towards implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries. The EAF-Nansen project and the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources of Namibia (MFMR) have decided to carry out from 11 to 30 January 2016 second inter- calibration survey between the UN research vessel R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen and the R/V Mirabilis owned by Namibia. In particular, Namibia has covered the cost of this survey (at a subsidized rate) and has taken care of the logistics involved. Special emphasis was put on bottom trawling using the swept area method for hake and monk species within the Namibian waters along track lines defined in consultations among scientific experts from FAO, IMR, and National Scientists involved in the survey. Over the years, many such intercalibration surveys were performed in the world, although results are only available in the grey literature (e.g. Warren, 1996; Stansbury, 1997; Warren et al., 1997). General reviews are few, although some of them offer important guidance and most of all, caution against many possible traps in the methodology and interpretation which may make conclusions from these surveys difficult to apply. On a caution side are papers by Godø (1994, and his later works also with co-authors), Walsh et al. (1997), Walsh (1996), Pelletier (1998) and Miller (2011). More optimistic approach, and that using modelling instead of comparative trawling trials, was advocated by Cotter (2001) which is understandable as a modeler seldom is faced with a harsh reality of a ship’s deck. Report from the previous (2015) intercalibration exercise stated that the number of pairs of trawls completed and usable (n = 26) was too small to conduct meaningful statistical comparisons. These comparisons should ideally provide reciprocal calibration factors for both vessels. It was quite obvious from the results obtained that these calibration factors will be different for different species as they responded differently to the gear. However, Similarity Indices, standardized catches per species, and length frequency comparisons can be made, and they can support validity of the calibration factors if differences to be found statistically insignificant.

Careful planning, called for in the last year report, was followed as far as possible during 2016 exercise. During the meeting preceding the cruise (on board of R/V Mirabilis) it has been agreed that Scanmar sensors will be installed on Namibian vessels and that a special communications device will be put on both vessels to enable instant transfer of data. During the meeting, it was agreed that Mirabilis will conduct her normal survey sampling as it is done every year, and will be joined by R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen when positions and bottom will be suitable for intercalibration. Thus, meeting positions were determined. Both ships were to measure both species of hake, monk and jacopever for comparison. It has been decided that horse mackerel , snoek, angelfish and both gurnard species do not need to be measured on Dr Fridtjof Nansen. Map of the station distribution is provided on Fig. 1.

Short narrative and general logistic Dr Fridtjof Nansen has sailed on 11 January from Walvis Bay (Namibia), together with R/V Mirabilis. Herewith is a very brief account of each day. Full record of trawls is available upon request from the author and was not attached to this report this time.

11-12 January Waiting for a permission to operate in Namibian waters. 13 January Three pairs of trawls completed. Large catches dominated by hake. 15 January Five pairs of trawls completed. Catches mostly large, up to 3.5 t, dominated by hake, but also troublesome sea urchins present. 16 January Six pairs of trawls successfully completed. Hake dominant. 17 January Five pairs of trawls completed. Catches variable. Hake dominant as before. 18-23 January Alongside in Walvis Bay – repairing the leak in the keel tunnel. Last day – sailing to the redens-vous place with Mirabilis. 24 January Two pairs of trawls completed. Trawls of a limited use as dominated by yellow sponge and sea urchins. 25 January Five pairs of trawls completed. Hake and jellyfish dominated. 26 January Five pairs of trawls completed. Hake, sea urchins and rattails dominated. 27 January Five pairs of trawls completed. Hakes, sea urchins and jacopever dominated. 28 January Six pairs of trawls were completed. Hakes, maasbanker, jellyfish dominated. 29 January Six pairs of trawls completed. Maasbanker, hakes, jacopever and jellyfish dominated. 30 January Five pairs of trawls were completed. Hakes, maasbanker, jacopever and jellyfish dominated. In the evening ship was directed towards Walvis Bay 31 January Alongside in Walvis Bay. Summary of the cruise. In all, 57 successful and usable trawl pairs were completed. Work on deck has followed standard procedures and was conducted without any hindrance except a malfunction of the largest scale which had to be replaced. Intercalibration exercise is easy because only basic procedures are followed: sorting and weighting catch (making a decision first if whole catch needs to be sorted, or only a portion of it), and measuring sample of selected species. As mentioned in the previous report, intercalibration may involve many more parameters such as biological analyses of main target species. However, this requires a large demersal team. In 2016 demersal team was small, so such an extension was not possible.

Page 4

Demersal team (working without shift system on Dr Fridtjof Nansen, and in shifts on Mirabilis) was working well. The only problem was its small size (only five people effectively working the catch). It is recommended that minimum number of people for this exercise is 6, optimum is 7. Also, minimum number of male members of the team is 3, preferably 4. It is because of carrying and weighting heavy baskets, weighting usually more than 30 kg. Knowledge of local species in the Namibian team was very good.

During the cruise both ships had to deal with bad (muddy) bottoms. Several trawl pairs were excluded from the analysis because net was digging and was stuck on the bottom (Mirabilis), or catch was impossible to sort because of mud, sea urchins or both. Latter catches were usually very large and difficult to wash away from deck. Conclusion for the future is that more attention should be paid to the selection of suitable areas for trawling during intercalibration exercises. Also, there were long waits for R/V Mirabilis repairing nets. It is felt that this waiting time may be reduced if during the pre-survey meeting quick change of the whole net when needed is requested and agreed upon.

When the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen has returned to Walvis Bay for a crew change (19 January), there was a leak inside of the vessel (water was spotted in the TV lounge downstairs). Dr Fridtjof Nansen had to stay in port until 23 January in the evening. This was the main reason why we ran short to our target of 90 trawls or more for the survey. Second reason was linked to various technical delays which can be easily avoided (e.g. waiting for the permission to operate on the Namibian waters, delays when waiting for Mirabilis repairing nets).

Results Main objectives of the comparisons between catches of Dr Fridtjof Nansen and Mirabilis were as follows:  To observe trends in catches (standardized to catch per hour): totals, Merluccius capensis, M. paradoxus, Lophius vomerinus, Helicolenus dactylopterus;  To assess differences between length frequencies of target species (as above);  To interpret differences found (if any);  To assess relevance of this supporting information when performing Similarity Index analysis and calculating conversion factors between two vessels. The ultimate objective of the intercalibration is to be able to maintain time series when different vessels have to be used. Intercalibration exercises performed around the world and published in the scientific literature point out to the importance of using the same fishing gear during these exercises (as far as possible) and keep record of even minute differences, as this is main source of principal differences and errors (extremely difficult to quantify). As it was proven in the South African experience, even after controlled gear experiments, change of gear (in this instance, bottom trawl) may result in not only profound differences between two respective parts of the time series, but also inexplicable gear behavior (proven in smaller than expected catches of Merluccius capensis by new trawl during intercalibration exercises) . The latter introduces errors which are difficult or impossible to measure.

Results presented below look in some detail for catch differences between vessels using the same type of trawl, Gisund Super. However, there were small but important

Page 5 differences of rigging trawls between the two vessels. These differences are subject to a detailed analysis now and results are not as yet available. Results presented below cast catch data in two forms: raw data, where odd catches impact upon the overall comparison, and log-transformed data, where an impact of these outliers is minimized.

As can be seen from these results, linear regression performed fits better with log- transformed data (certainly to be expected!) ; however, data are clustered in the lower left corner (raw data), which means that total catch category was dominated by relatively small numbers. This underlines the need for also choosing commercial grounds for intercalibration exercises, where catches are expected to be consistent and larger.

Page 6

Overall, this result shows good agreement between both vessels and indicates a good prospect of calculating valid conversion factors when sufficient number of successful pairs of trawls becomes available.

This result is remarkably similar to the graph of total catches. However, better proportion between small and large catches is achieved not because larger catches were more numerous, but because there was smaller number of trawls overall (and particularly small catches). With the small number of trawls, this result is remarkably good, particularly when raw data were log transformed.

Similarity between total catch graphs and Merluccius capensis graphs indicates an expected result of this species dominance in the whole exercise.

This result further underlines a need for carefully choosing fishing grounds for intercalibration exercise. Small number of trawls (below the statistical threshold of 30) and a large gap between a bulk of data and a single large outlier which (purely by chance) fits into the regression line (upper graph) gives a strange result of better fit in raw data than the log transformed data.

Merluccius paradoxus commercial grounds are located in the southern Namibia, south of Luderitz. If this species is to be included in the intercalibration calculations, more trawls

Page 8 should be made in this particular area (see Fig. 1) since the probability of large catches there is limited.

This result is remarkable. Log transformed data only very marginally improve the fit. Large scatter resulting from the natural variation (particularly generally small catches of monk throughout the region) makes catches of this species difficult to analyze and discover patterns. A very large set of data is usually required in such instances, and such a demand is in conflict with a good survey practice (minimizing damage to small and vulnerable stocks of fish).

Page 9

Again, with such a variation, number of trawls conducted (34) seems to be small. Improvement by careful selection of fishing grounds seems to be difficult and probably impossible because monk has the scattered distribution all around deeper waters of Namibia.

Despite the small number of trawls, both fits of jacopever are relatively good (there is one outlier of the large catch , upper graph). For log transformed data, fit is remarkably better. Jacopever is a good screen species suitable for comparisons because of its geographic and vertical distribution. Dr Fridtjof Nansen catches jacopever more and more frequently than does Mirabilis (in contrast to monk, where proportions are reversed). This underlines presumed gear differences between two vessels.

A two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test proved that there are significant differences between Dr Fridtjof Nansen and Mirabilis, but for a very low p values (see below).

# KS-test: M Capensis ksTest(V1 ~ V2, data = inC) Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: x and y D = 0.053599, p-value = 4.134e-08 alternative hypothesis: two-sided

Page 12

Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: x and y D = 0.13083, p-value = 0.001521 alternative hypothesis: two-sided.

When empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) was performed (see below), differences between ships seemed to be relatively minor.

However, considering the visual ecdf plot for each species comparing the length frequency distribution between the two vessels, there appears bigger indication of difference in length frequency of L. vomerinus caught by the two vessels. The length frequency composition of M. capensis and M. paradoxus caught by the two vessels appear similar, when compared visually. The result of the test using .Kolmogorov- Smirnov test for two samples , indicates the size composition the three species differs between the two vessels. To understand what this implies one needs to consider what aspects of a distribution does Ks-test picks up. KS-test picks up difference in size frequency distribution in either the average size, variability in size , skewness in size frequency distribution and kurtosis in size frequency distribution. Therefore, to see what aspect of the size frequency difference were picked by KS-test, the four components were compared for the size frequency distribution of each species caught by the two vessels (see below). This also suggests a difference in size frequency of each species caught by the two vessels though the biggest difference still for L. vomerinus whereas for the two hakes the difference appears to be minor (given the large sample size).

Page 13

Page 14

Statistical tests for normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk; see Appendix 2) provided further clues (namely, striking similarities of Normal Q-Q Plots and Detrended Normal Q-Q Plots between vessels) that differences between vessels concerning respective LFs, were insignificant for the target species although their distributions were significantly not normal. This result further strengthens the conclusion that the conducted intercalibration exercise was successful, and that after collecting more trawl pairs and addressing problem areas concerning compatibility of the gears, conversion factors can be calculated with the full confidence. Selectivity analysis was considered after approach outlined by Millar (1992). However, catch by length table (see Appendix) proves that selectivity model proposed by Millar (1992) would likely yield identical results, which renders analysis unnecessary. In this table, length curve for Merluccius capensis (as a most representative species of the survey) was plotted (not shown) to calculate individual weights per size class. Since no biological analyses were conducted on Dr Fridtjof Nansen, historical data were used for this purpose. Weigths were then re-calculated for the whole catch of the species per vessel. Omission of one important measurement (jacopever on Mirabilis) was unfortunate. This underlines an importance of written agreements on sampling protocols.

Discussion

This year (2016) intercalibration managed to conduct 57 valid trawls. However, as not all target species are in every trawl, this number for hakes and monk are smaller (best for M. capensis: 36). It is still short of target of 90 trawls, set in a previous report. Scatterplots present large scatter for all species. Dr Fridtjof Nansen was catching systematically more of Helicolenus dactylopterus, and Mirabilis – more of Lophius vomerinus. Merluccius paradoxus catches were similar. Mirabilis caught more of M. capensis overall because of two very large catches. From the results it is fairly obvious that identity of the gear and fair homogeneity of the sampled environment (although essential) do not by itself guarantee results which can be used with confidence for developing intercalibration factors. Gear must be checked and tested for the hidden identity problems, and changes recorded in protocols developed for this purpose. The same applies for the trawling procedure (times, speeds, encountered errors) and processing of the catch. However, further analysis: calculation of Similarity Indices and conversion factors were not the objective of this report. Therefore this judgement remains a subjective opinion of the author. Supportive evidence (scatters of total catches and catches of target species, LFs comparisons) rather strengthens the conclusion that 2016 intercalibration was successful as further considerable progress was made to achieve the ultimate goal, i.e. to create an unbroken time series for demersal surveys in Namibia. Important other conclusions, stemming from this year’s exercise, are summarized below.  Selection of suitable grounds is important for intercalibration exercise;  Communication and agreement concerning logistics is vital as good solutions will save time and money (e.g. changing whole nets instead of repairing them);  Written agreements concerning procedures may help in avoiding some work falling into the cracks;

Page 15

In conclusion, 2016 exercise was good, and it will be extremely useful if continued in the future. It is guessed that one, possibly two, intercalibration exercises will be required. This however may be complicated as Dr Fridtjof Nansen is being replaced by a new ship; new strategy and new logistics may be required.
