This form provides for the reporting of the matrix of presence of species in the retained catches and discards of each fishing fleet by gear group and broad fishery category. Species include IOTC species, mobulid rays, common sharks, and other bycatch species caught in association with IOTC fisheries. All gear groups (hooks and lines, pole-and-lines, longlines, purse seines, gillnets, and other gears) are included and further broken down by broad fishery category.

For the combination of each taxon, gear group, and fishery category listed in the form, the cell must be filled with either a value of one (1) in case of positive catch or a value of zero (0) in case of absence of catch, i.e., no landing nor discard.
