    Hallo,
    concerning the numbers in your reports, e.g.
    “3-2 released ” – what does it mean ?
    thank you in advance

    Best regards

    Christian,

      Hello Christian – In this case, the 2 represents the number of fish released, the 3 represents the number of bites that the boat has. So, this boat had three bites from marlin, from which 2 of those were successfully fought and released.

    Hi, my name is Francesca, and I am a marine biologist. I would like to use the data from this amazing website for my research on Blue Marlin (of course, the site be cited in the article). To utilize your data, I need to know how accurate is the data.. I mean, it is mandatory to register the catch for the companies that work with billfishes? The data on the records (values of catch and weight) respect the total catches? Thanks a lot for your help!

    All the best,
    Francesca
