Abstract
Albacore caught by trolling during the 2009-10 to 2011-12 fishing seasons were sampled in fish sheds to determine the length frequency composition and length-weight relationship. Data were scaled to the commercial catch reported on CELR forms. Data collected by observers on troll vessels were summarised and compared to the port sampling data for spatial and temporal representativeness of the fishery. The Observer Programme sampled too few vessels for the length data to be representative.
