Download FAR 2018/62 – Albacore catch sampling during 2015–16 to 2017–18

Albacore caught by trolling during the 201516 to 2017–18 fishing seasons were sampled in fish sheds to determine the length frequency composition and length-weight relationship. Data were scaled to the commercial catch reported on CELR forms, and compared to the CELR data for spatial and temporal representativeness of the fishery.
