Short summary
Management of marine fisheries and ecosystems is limited by knowledge based on datasets which are short and recent. We recovered new long-term catch and size data for swordfish in the Mediterranean Sea. Our new data series cover the period 1896–2010, which predates most other Mediterranean swordfish datasets. The data allow scientists to investigate long-term effects of fishing and ocean–climate conditions on swordfish ecology in the Mediterranean Sea.
