Following is information on numbers and locations of sharks that have been caught by the SCP. It is important to reduce the inadvertent impacts of the SCP on other marine animals (bycatch) without compromising human safety. Bycatch levels are carefully monitored and research is focused on minimising impacts on non-target species. fisheries data shark control program 2017 catch statistics documentDigital Spreadsheet of Shark Control Program shark catch numbers by species from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017.
