Review of information of other sharks caught by Japanese longliners in the Atlantic

Review of information of other sharks caught by Japanese longliners in the Atlantic.

Yokawa, K. and Ando, T.

SUMMARY:

In the late-1990s, the Japanese longline logbook system started collecting catch information on oceanic whitetip shark and thresher sharks. In the present study, the logbook information on these sharks was quickly reviewed from the view point of their usefulness for stock assessments. In addition, the information on the sharks catches collected by Japanese longline observers was also reviewed.
