Estimation of Unreported Catch in a Commercial Trawl Fishery
This paper describes a systematic approach that combines research survey and commercial landings data to estimate the total catch of a species, including discards, in a commercial trawl fishery. The method is applied to the 1989 Norwegian bottom trawl fishery for cod (Gadus morhua L.) in the Barents Sea and its utility is evaluated. Bottom trawl survey

We update the 2017 SCRS-agreed VPA assessment for the Eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna to include previously unreported catches of age-0 tuna in the Mediterranean. Except for three years in the 1980s, the change in estimates of annual recruitment are negligible. The pattern that indicates a regime shift in the 1980s remains.
