In 1997 and 1998, we tagged and released 18013 red-legged banana prawns in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The location of recaptures was documented for 916 tagged prawns in 1997 and 512 tagged prawns in 1998. Tag recapture information and commercial fishery logbook information was used to test whether red-legged banana prawns moved continuously to deeper waters or whether they moved first to deep water but then returned to shallower waters. The analysis is based on compartment models of recaptures per unit of fishing effort.
