Annual bycatch estimates of common dolphins in the eastern North Atlantic compiled from European observer program PETRACET (Pelagic TRAwls and CETaceans) and French and English national observer programs under EU Regulation No 812/2004.

*the bycatch estimates were the same for 2003, 2004 and 2005 because they were derived from the PETRACET program (Pelagic TRAwls and CETaceans) implemented from December 2003 to May 2005.
NB: We assumed that bycaught dolphins were part of the oceanic stock when the target species of the fishery was tuna and part of the neritic stock when the target species was a demersal fish like seabass.
