Abstract
Abstract By-catch arising in the period May–November 2003 in the Icelandic blue whiting fishery was analyzed by random collection of 450 catch samples selected from 42 trips (9.4% of the total).

Saithe and silver smelt were recorded in 21.1% and 19.1% of samples, respectively. Their total by-catch was 1605 and 1188 t, respectively. Lumpfish, cod, golden redfish and deepwater redfish were recorded in 2.2–5.6% of samples, and their total by-catch was 30–156 t by species. The remaining five fish species were recorded in
