The study presented an analysis of the on-deck sorting selection of pair trawlers for three species: John dory, whitefin trevally, and yellowback seabream. The previous paper revealed that small individuals of these species were caught with trawl codend of the legal minimum mesh size due to their large body height relative to body length. The sorting selection curve for landing was estimated using a logistic curve equation through the SELECT analysis, with a comparison of body length composition between landed fish measured at the landing site by the pair trawlers and fish collected at trawl surveys at the same fishing ground. For John dory and yellowback seabream, the landings were clearly sorted by body size, with a pronounced narrowing of the landing selection length ranges. In particular, the 50% landing selection length of 12.3 cm for yellowback seabream was relatively close to the fish length of 99% retention by the codend of the legal minimum mesh size. This suggests that the majority of fish captured by pair trawl was landed. In contrast, the fish lengths of 50% landing selection for John dory and whitefin trevally were larger than the fish lengths of 50% retention by the codend, indicating that a considerable number of small individuals were discarded. Furthermore, the potential for overlooking growth overfishing when conducting yield per recruit analysis with data on fish length obtained exclusively from landings at fish markets was also discussed.
