Abstract
This report was prepared as an output from the MFish project ENV2006-01 "Bycatch and discards in ling longline fisheries" and addresses the following objective.
1. To estimate the quantity of non-target fish species caught, and the target and non-target fish species discarded, in the longline fisheries for ling for the fishing years 1998/1999 to 2005/06 using data from MFish Observers and commercial fishing returns.

In addition, estimates of non-target fish species catch and discards were also made for the 1994-95 fishing year in order to compare results using the current methodology with those of Anderson et al. (2000).
