The vessel is authorised to undertake commercial fishing of Swordfish.
Sharks are designated by-catch in this sector except for Thresher, Hammerhead and Oceanic white tip sharks, which must be released if caught. Permit holders may either opt to keep the fins attached to the trunk of a shark or cut the fins while onboard the vessel during a fishing trip. If the Permit holder opts to cut the fins, both the fins and trunks must be landed together at the first point of landing. The maximum weight of fins landed shall not exceed 8 % of the total weight of shark trunks landed. If the Permit Holder chooses to keep the fins attached to the trunk then this ratio does not apply.
