MARLIN CATCH LIMITS ARE TARGETS FOR MORTALITY REDUCTION AND BALANCES ARE NOT INTERPRETED AS ADJUSTMENTS.
BRAZIL: Releases are of live marlin. Retained marlin are not for commercial use. Brazil requested to delete the balance figure.
BARBADOS: The values listed under "blue marlin" for years prior to 2010 are total catches of all billfish species (except swordfish) including blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish,
as reported to ICCAT under the category "BIL".
JAPAN: 2011 figures are provisional.
MEXICO: The quotas were determined before Mexico became an ICCAT member, which therefore requires a review. The landings are dead by-catches retained. Live billfish are released.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Landings are only by-catches.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Catch limits have been adjusted in accordance with Rec. 06-09 and revised historical statistics accepted by the SCRS at its 2009 meeting.
USA: In numbers of fish landed, white marlin and blue marlin combined; in 2010, in addition, 19 roundscale spearfish were landed.
