Sumario:Data on by catch of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) landed by the Spanish surface fleets, both troll and bait boats, targeting albacore (Thunnus alalunga) in the Cantabrian sea and Northeastern Atlantic fishing grounds are presented. Monthly catch statistics and samples on length distribution have been collected in the main fishing ports along the north Spanish coast during the summer season fishery for the years of 2007, 2008 and 2009. Based on the monitoring of the albacore fishing activity estimates of Task I and Task II data were obtained and are presented.
