    Pacific saury has been historically caught primarily by the stick-held dip nets in Japan and the catch is quite small in other fisheries. In the Japanese stick-held dip net fisheries targeting Pacific saury, several kinds of pelagic fish have been bycaught, but their bycatch recorded in the logbooks is very rare.
