Overall Objective:
Using available data, estimate the spatial density of hoiho (yellow eyed penguin), including seasonal variation, estimated separately for breeding and non-breeding birds.
Specific Objectives:
1. Secure access to existing satellite telemetry data collected under government contract.
2. Compile available data indicative of hoiho distribution: NOMAD sightings data, CSP sightings data, fisheries capture, and colony specific population estimates.
3. Apply spatial modelling techniques to estimate the spatial distribution and density of hoiho (including seasonal variation, and estimated separately for breeding and non-breeding birds), using data from Objective 2 and spatially comprehensive environmental data layers available from other Fisheries New Zealand funded projects.
4. In collaboration with researchers delivering updated parameterisation of the seabird SEFRA model, examine the spatial goodness-of-fit of captures estimates using the updated spatial distribution layers from Objective 3, and modify these layers as appropriate where poorly fitted patterns seem to reflect poorly estimated spatial distribution layers.
