• Surface Association in Juvenile Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna is Brief, Tagging Data Suggest

  • Fact Sheet
  • Evaluating the Impact of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS) on Tunas in the Pacific Ocean

  Most visits to surface waters by medium-sized juvenile yellowfin and bigeye tuna are brief, according to a new study of electronic tagging data from the western and central Pacific Ocean. This finding suggests that limits to fishing effort on FADs (fish aggregating devices) may be necessary as part of any strategy to prevent overfishing of these species, and that seasonal closures will be...
