A population model for penguins at Robben Island is fit to both moult count and tagresighting data. The fit is reasonable and provides an estimate of the over-dispersion of the resighting data. This is important for generating resightings in planned simulations for analysing the power of a future tagging programme to detect a change in mortality rate linked to the presence or absence of pelagic fish in the vicinity of Robben Island.
