Description:"This report summarizes historical trends and recent developments for U.S. commercial fisheries taking marlins (Istiophoridae) in the North Pacific Ocean. Marlins are also targeted and taken incidentally by recreational fisheries but there is no mandatory data collection program for these fisheries. Therefore, only the U.S. commercial fisheries are discussed herein. At least five species of marlins are exploited commercially by U.S. fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean. These are striped marlin (Kajikia audax), blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), shortbill spearfish (Tetrapterus angustirostris), sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus), and black marlin (Istiompax indica). The first two species predominate in the commercial landings (tonnage)"--Introduction.
