2023 Atlantic Swordfish Landing Updates
Commercial and recreational landings information for North Atlantic and South Atlantic swordfish is posted monthly.
NOAA Fisheries estimates landings using commercial dealer reports and reports by anglers in the Highly Migratory Species Non-Tournament Recreational Swordfish and Billfish Landings Database and the Recreational Billfish Survey.
These estimates are subject to late reporting and do not include discards. Totals are reported in metric tons dressed weight (1 metric ton is equal to 2,204.6 pounds).
