The quantities caught, the effort spent in the catching, and the geographic distribution of catches are necessary for diagnosing the condition of any fish population. Representing as they do the experience of thousands of people, these statistics provide the best yardstick yet devised for currently measuring abundance, for indicating trouble spots, and for evaluating the effects of remedial measures. Furthermore they can be enor­ mously useful in geographic studies of species, particularly when supplemented by surveys of research vessels. However, catch statistics are worthy only to the extent that they are reasonably complete and continuous in space and time.

  • Salt Water Sportsman Article Swordfishing: Back to the Future
    Salt Water Sportsman Fisheries Front May 2002 SWORDFISHING: BACK TO THE FUTURE By Ken Hinman Now that we’re seeing the first signs of a turnaround in the 30-year decline of Atlantic swordfish – not just on paper, but in the water - the battle for positioning in a recovered fishery is officially underway. We’ve been hearing that swordfish are on the rebound since 1999, the last time scientists crunched the numbers for an Atlantic-wide stock assessment and reported the first upward trend in the population in about 25 years. But it didn’t seem real until 2001 when, simultaneously, sport anglers and commercial harpooners celebrated banner years, with catches like they hadn’t seen in, well, about 25 years. For those of us who’ve devoted a big chunk of the last two decades to restoring this magnificent fish to its former glory, the resurgence of the rod-and-reel and harpoon fisheries is what we’ve been looking forward to. From the beginning of swordfish conservation efforts in the United States (circa 1983), a principal goal has been to revive the resource in order to restore and expand the handgear fisheries, driven into exile by the advent of longlining in the 1960s and ‘70s. Sight-Fishing Challenge As swordfish disappeared from coastal waters, so did most of the fishermen who’d pursued them in the age-old manner. When the fish were big and plentiful, they could be hunted like whales. In fact, swordfishing was more like hunting than fishing, since the fisherman had to sight the fish at the surface, where larger adults (usually well over 200 pounds) would bask in the warmer surface waters after a night of heavy feeding.
