This paper provides an update of standardized catch rates in weight of blue shark using a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) from a total of 2,301 trips carried out by the Spanish surface longline fleet targeting swordfish in the Indian Ocean during the 2001-2019 period. The criteria used to define explanatory variables were similar to those used in previous papers. The main factors considered in the analysis were year, quarter, area, ratio, gear and the interaction quarter*area. The results indicate that the ratio factor (an indicator of target criteria of the skippers) defined as the ratio between the two most prevalent species caught -swordfish and blue shark- was the most important factor which explained the CPUE variability. The GLM results explained 80% of CPUE variability in weight. The index showed a stable trend over time.
