2 Numbers of sharks caught by Norway are calculated from data of landings in metric tonnes and assuming a mean weight of 5t per shark. This calculation may under-estimate numbers of sharks taken by up to 30%.
3Numbers are derived by converting published landings (tonnes) to number of 5t fish. This may result in an under-estimate of the numbers of sharks taken by up to 30%.
