Abundance indicators for blue, mako, and porbeagle sharks are updated to the 2018 fishing year. Most of the abundance indicators showed declining trends in recent years, particularly in North region in the 2017 and 2018 fishing years. However, the indicators may not accurately index shark abundance because of major changes in the surface longline fishery since 2015, especially the banning of shark finning which may have led to avoidance of areas of high shark abundance.
