Since the early 1950s a sport fishery for sharks has existed off south-west England. On average some 5000 sharks are taken annually on rod and line between May and October. The catch consists almost entirely of blue sharks, the majority of which are immature or adolescent females, limited numbers of the porbeagle, Lamna nasus Bonnaterre, mako, Isurus oxyrinchus Rafinesque and very occasionally the thresher, Alopias vulpinus Bonnaterre.
