Figure 6a: Commercial catches (tons) of Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) in the Norwegian EEZ from 2015 to 2024. Data compiled from the Register of Electronic Catch and Activity Reporting (ERS) from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries (2025a). Catches from the Register of Landings are supplied for vessels that have not reported ERS-messages. Most of the catches in the “Trolling lines” category are done by trolling and bait fishing. Most bycatches are ABFT caught with pelagic trawl.
