Yellow fin tuna dominated the catch contributing to 46.5% of the total catch. Marlins dominated the catches among species other than tuna by sharing 43.7% of
the total catch, followed by sharks (32.5 %). Skipjack tuna contributed about 14.3% and Sword fish about 9.52% of the total catch.The details about the species landed with their hooking rates and the gear used are
