Status: In Work
Abstract:

Data were collected by the U.S. Recreational Billfish Survey (RBS) from U.S. recreational tournaments in the Atlantic East coast (including the Bahamas), the Gulf of Mexico, and and Caribbean (U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico).

Purpose:

Record Catch and Effort Information From FIshing Tournaments

Supplemental Information:

While U.S. recreational anglers predominantly practice a catch-and-release fishery, a limited number of billfish are landed, particularly in association with fishing tournaments. The recreational billfish fishery within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), including U.S. territories, is monitored primarily through the NMFS Recreational Billfish Survey (RBS). The RBS mainly focuses on fishing tournament data but does include a limited number of Atlantic billfish landings outside tournaments.
