Abstract

ICCAT Recommendation 21-09 is implemented that supports the conservation of the North Atlantic stock of shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) caught in association with ICCAT fisheries. As paragraph 13 mentioned, there is a requirement to present the statistical methodology used to estimate live releases and dead discards for CPCs with reported average catches over 1 t between 2018-2020. This document aims to describe the methodology used to estimate Shortfin Mako live releases and dead discards from China fisheries.
