• Description:
  This working paper presents catch summaries and distribution plots of blue marlin in the North Pacific and South Pacific from non-ISC member countries. The data was provided by the WCPFC for longline catches of blue marlin only. The purpose was to provide the ISC Billfish Working Group with billfish catch data not available in the ISC or ISC Working Groups data holdings. This blue marlin catch data has been made available to the ISC for stock assessment purposes. Total catches of blue marlin in metric tons are presented for each ISC and WCPFC country. Spatial distribution plots for all years and the most recent 3-year period (2012-2014) are also presented for the ISC countries, China and Indonesia.
