Abstract
Despite increased deployment of archival tags on exploited fish species, analytical methods for including archival tag data in fishery assessment models are lacking. We present a method for integrating archival tag data into a spatial tag–recapture model for estimating natural mortality, fishing mortality, abundance, and movement. Archival tags provide important information on fish movement not available from conventional tags that facilitates separation of movement from mortality estimates. Using simulations, we evaluate the benefit of including archival tag data in the model using two model formulations: one with a general spatial structure and one with movement and fishery dynamics based on juvenile southern bluefin tuna (SBT;
