Exploit
 

Estimated Catch (Tons / year). Catch trend: Stable. CPUE Trend: Increasing. Effort Trend: Stable. Santer and slinger constitute more than 80% of linefish catches in the catch in the SWIOFC region of South Africa. It is estimated that more than 75% (by mass) of the total catch of both the Inshore shallow water and Offshore deep water shrimp fisheries is discarded at sea because it has little commercial value. Discards include cephalopods (octopus, squid and cuttle-fish), fish (many species), elasmobranchs (sharks and rays), and lower value crustaceans.
