dc.description.abstractSwordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a common target species of surface pelagic longline fisheries. In the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, swordfish is managed as three separate stocks, all having management measures in place to rebuild or conserve the stocks, including minimum landing sizes. The objective of this study was to review size data for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, model the sex-specific size distribution and determine areas where there is higher likelihood of capturing undersized fish. The size distribution differed between males and females and varied by quarter, indicating movements of large fish between temperate and tropical waters. Undersized fish seems to occur in association with coastal waters, with higher proportions in the Northwest Atlantic and tropical areas. This study provides a better understanding of the temporal and spatial size and sex distribution of swordfish and presents insights into the distribution of undersized swordfish that is subject to management measures.eng
