Compilation of Thunnus thynnus (bluefin tuna) catche in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean 1906–1949

The data have been extracted and compiled from various sources but mainly from the ICES data base. The ICES data are from catch databases downloaded from the ICES website on 2014-01-14. These data are resolved by ICES area, country and year. During inspection of these data, it was noted that Norwegian data for years before 1950 had not been entered into the catch database on the ICES website. ICES has been notified of this omission by B. R. MacKenzie. The Norwegian data from ICES Bulletins. Statistiques has been added. Additional historical bluefin tuna catch data from other fishery reports and sources have been included in the data file for years preceding those when countries started reported their landings officially to ICES. These additional data have been reported in the literature previously (MacKenzie and Myers 2007, Fisheries Research).

本数据集通过多源提取与汇编而成，核心数据取自国际海洋考察理事会（International Council for the Exploration of the Sea，简称ICES）数据库。其中ICES相关数据来自2014年1月14日从ICES官网下载的渔获数据库，且已按ICES海区、国家与年份维度进行分类统计。在对该数据集开展核查时，研究人员发现1950年之前的挪威渔获数据未被录入ICES官网的渔获数据库，B. R. MacKenzie已就该疏漏向ICES进行了通报。本次汇编补充了源自《ICES统计公报》（ICES Bulletins de Statistiques）的挪威相关数据；在各国正式向ICES申报渔获上岸量之前的年份区间内，本数据集还纳入了来自其他渔业报告与多类来源的历史蓝鳍金枪鱼渔获数据，此类补充数据此前已在相关学术文献中发表（MacKenzie与Myers，2007年，《渔业研究》（Fisheries Research））。
