Abstract
We used Observer data to assess the species composition of the New Zealand tuna longline fisheries, and to estimate CPUE and the number of fish caught by observed vessels during 2006–07 to 2009-10 fishing years. Data were summarised by fishing fleet and area. Reported catches were presented. Discard practices and life status were summarised for the main non-target species. The size distribution, and sex and maturity composition of blue, porbeagle, and mako sharks and Ray’s bream were determined.
