MATHER, JONES and BEARDSLEY: MARLINS IN ATLANTIC 



Figure 7. — Distribution and apparent relative abundance of blue marlin in the Atlantic Ocean. Data are from 

 records of the Japanese longline fishery, 1956-1967. The catch per unit of effort (CUE) for each month in the 

 rectangle is the arithmetic mean of the CUE of each month that the area in the rectangle was fished in the 12- 

 year period. CUE is the number of fish caught per 100 hooks.
