Description:
Information on bycatches of sharks collected by observers of the Inter-American Tropical TunaCommission (IATTC) between 1993 and 2004 is presented in this data report. This reportcontains two sections. The first section summarizes information used by the staff of the IATTCto review and revise IATTC observers’ at-sea species identifications of Carcharhinusfalciformis, C. limbatus, and C. longimanus. The revisions were based on 1) data collected onspecies-specific diagnostic characteristics as part of a special sampling program conductedbetween March 2000, and March 2001 and 2) a review of observers’ archival field notes for the1993-2004 period. The second section summarizes the shark bycatches reported by IATTCobservers between 1993 and 2004, incorporating the revisions of observers’ at-seaidentifications. The IATTC-observed shark bycatch data are summarized as tables with annualtallies of observed bycatches and maps of the spatial distributions of the average bycatches perset and size compositions of the bycatches.
