Abstract
A systematic penguin tagging programme has been proposed with the aim of correlating annual penguin survival estimates with whether or not pelagic fishing is excluded from the neighbourhood of an island in a year. A key parameter in the programme design is the number of new birds to be tagged annually. This paper outlines the simulations which will show how this number affects the power of a tagging programme to detect a difference in survival rates under different fishing treatments.
