Synopsis (short abstract) These identification cards are produced by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) to help improve catch data and statistics on targeted billfish. Through an improved understanding of billfish stocks, regional fisheries managers can ensure that these species are fished in a sustainable manner in the Indian Ocean. The most likely users of the cards are fisheries observers, samplers, and fishing masters. Fisheries training institutions and fishing communities are other potential users.
