This report expands on estimates of catch and bycatch reported by Tully and Palma-Pedraza (2022). A further four years of data are reported. Increased levels of monitoring have been achieved through expanded observer coverage and contracted skipper reporting involving more vessels. In addition, deployment of an ‘always on’ fleet tracking system (inshore vessel monitoring systems, iVMS), that reports vessel position at 10min intervals, has enabled observed and reported data on catch and bycatch to be raised to fleet level for the first time.
