• Description:
  This study looked at re-examining the North Pacific fleets that have been used for previous assessments of blue shark by investigating the size and sex composition data from observer records, port and scientific samples in greater detail. Our goal is to provide information that can be used by the ISC shark working group to more appropriately define fleet structure for the assessment based on size and sexual composition of the catch.
