Annual catch weight in kilograms for each non-target species caught and retained by a fishery. The data helps track the harvest levels of these species over time and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Use Cases
- Monitor bycatch trends over time based on the annual catch weight metric.
- Assess fishery sustainability based on the harvest levels of non-target species.
- Model population impacts on non-target species based on retained catch data.
Strengths
- Data is updated as of 2026-07-22, suggesting ongoing maintenance.
- Provides a specific metric (annual catch weight in kg) for tracking.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
