Description
Summary:The shark catch data reported by observers in the period 2002-2003 were used to adjust the historical shark catch in Task I and to estimate blue shark catch for Taiwanese longline fishery in the South Atlantic Ocean. The standardized CPUE for sharks and blue shark caught by Taiwanese longline fishery in the South Atlantic Ocean was estimated based on adjusted logbook data. Standardized CPUE and relative CPUE series of all sharks combined caught by Taiwanese longline fishery showed a stable trend although slightly high values were found in 1995 and 1996. Similar trend was also found for the blue shark. The stable trend suggested that the blue shark stock in the South Atlantic Ocean seems at the level of optimum utilization. RÉSUMÉ Les données de capture des requins déclarées par les observateurs au cours de la période 2002-2003 ont été utilisées pour ajuster les prises historiques des requins dans la Tâche I et estimer les prises de requins peaux bleues de la pêcherie palangrière du Taïpei chinois opérant dans l’Atlantique Sud. La CPUE standardisée pour les requins et les requins peaux bleues capturés par la pêcherie palangrière du Taïpei chinois dans l’Atlantique Sud a été estimée d’après les données ajustées des carnets de pêche. Les séries de la CPUE standardisée et de la
