Abstract
⺠We characterize the evolution of a pelagic longline fishery in southern Italy. ⺠A rapid change in fishing practice occurred between 2007 and 2011. ⺠Fishing depth increased from 10-100 m to 100-500 m and the soak time by around 15 h. ⺠An increase in swordfish CPUE and a change in the catch composition were detected. ⺠The change in fishing practice could be an indicator of the state of the target stock.
