Reconstructing discards profiles of unreported catches
In Portugal it has been estimated that unreported catches represent one third of total catches. Herein, information on landings and total unreported catches (discards) by commercial métier were disaggregated into high taxonomic detail using published ...

Evaluating assumptions behind design-based estimators for unreported catches
Understanding a fishery’s impact on the marine ecosystem requires a quantification of total catches, which include unreported catches. For recent years in Norwegian waters, unreported catches have been estimated using data collected by the Norwegian Reference Fleet, a fisher self-sampling programme that regularly gathers data on catches of all species (

Fishery catch records support machine learning-based prediction of illegal fishing off US West Coast [PDF]
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a major problem worldwide, often made more challenging by a lack of at-sea and shoreside monitoring of commercial fishery catches.

Applying global best practices for estimating unreported catches in Norwegian fisheries under a discard ban [PDF]
AbstractIn addition to their role as a fisheries management tool, discard bans can be effective in improving knowledge of total catches via the requirement to land and report all catches. This shifts the focus to understanding the scale of unreported catches in fisheries, rather than only on discards.

Quantifying the unreported and unaccounted domestic and foreign commercial catch of sharks and rays in Western Australia. [PDF]
Reliable catch information is scarce for most sharks and rays worldwide, with almost half of the stocks considered to be Data Deficient due to limited species-specific catch statistics. Western Australia (WA) hosts a diverse number of shark and ray species, some of which are considered to be threatened with extinction at a global level.
