Catch per unit of effort
The quantity of fish caught (in number or in weight) with one standard unit of fishing effort (e.g., number of fish taken per 1,000 hooks per day, or weight of fish taken per hour of trawling). CPUE is often considered an index of fish biomass (or abundance). Sometimes referred to as catch rate.
