Estimates of relative species proportions and catch-at-age for the three jack mackerel (Trachurus) species in the commercial JMA 7 catch for 2019–20 are presented. The available time series of catch-at-age estimates, sex ratios, and species proportions for the JMA 7 catch (2006–07 to 2019–20) are summarised.

Variables that could potentially influence non-protected species bycatch in surface longlining were assessed. For example, seabird captures were influenced by variables such as moon phase and start month, as well as fishing behaviour-related variables, such as whether the tori line was over the bait entry point. A main conclusion from a post-hoc workshop was that a set of mandatory variables is required to reduce data scarcity limiting the assessment of mitigation measures.
