Abstract

Results from analysis of the United Kingdom recreational porbeagle fishery from 1960-2020 are presented for the purpose of the 2020 ICCAT request for data on the species. During this period, 1883 porbeagle were captured in UK waters for which we have records, with captures peaking during the mid-1970s before collapsing in the late 1980s to a point where the species was absent from many areas of UK waters. Since 2015, increases in both the numbers and the spatial distribution of porbeagle captures has occurred, including those adjusted for effort, which has been led by an increase in recruitment. Porbeagle populations within the UK show considerable segregation by size, with captures of mature fish largely restricted to certain areas
