Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The Billfish and Bycatch Research Group (BBRG) has a more varied perspective than the single species research groups. Issues include non-targeted catches in pelagic fisheries, protected species interactions and the catch of billfish by commercial and recreational fisheries. SPC’s Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) generates an annual estimate of commercial billfish catches, but currently not of recreational billfish catches. A system for reporting catches by recreational fishing clubs in the WCPO was established by OFP; ensuring that such data are collected and provided to OFP requires considerable work, and it has not been possible to adequately cover this activity (for most countries) over the past year.
