NOAA Fisheries released a report today about commercial and recreational Atlantic swordfish landings between January 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013.

From the report:

The table below provides preliminary landings estimates and remaining quotas as of October 31, 2013, for the Atlantic swordfish fisheries for the 2013 fishing year. We estimate landings using commercial dealer reports and reports by anglers in the HMS Non-Tournament Recreational Swordfish and Billfish Landings Database and the Recreational Billfish Survey. Please note that these estimates are subject to late reporting and do not include discards. The table below provides both the baseline and adjusted 2013 quotas.
