The relationship between the annual catch of bigeye tuna and climate factors and its prediction
IntroductionIn order to explore the impact of climate factors on bigeye tuna catch, monthly data of nine climate factors, including El Niño-related indices (Niño1 + 2, Niño3, Niño4, and Niño3.4), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic ...

Management Implications of Mesopelagic Forage Fisheries for Bigeye Tuna Stocks
ABSTRACT Many large marine predators forage on mesopelagic fish stocks, including commercially valuable tunas. The mesopelagic is under increasing interest for commercial exploitation, given its large biomass with potential to supply fishmeal for aquaculture feed or fish oil.

Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) bycatch in the Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
Abstract A large tuna was hooked by a Japanese longline fishery in the high seas near the Republic of Namibia. This fishing ground is mainly utilized for Thunnus albacares, Thunnus obesus and Thunnus alalunga by Japanese tuna longliners. Because the tuna was larger than the common size of these species, the specimen was sampled for genetic species ...

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). [PDF]
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Larval Genomics as a Viable, Fisheries-Independent Tool for Investigating Population Structure in Tropical Pacific Tunas. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Understanding how dispersal, life history, and environmental variability shape genetic connectivity in the open ocean remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Highly migratory marine predators like tunas have traditionally been considered genetically homogeneous across ocean basins, yet emerging genomic evidence suggests that ...

Length-frequency compositions and weight–length relations for bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, and albacore (Perciformes: Scombrinae) in the Atlantic, Indian, and eastern Pacific oceans [PDF]
Background. Bigeye tuna, Thunnus obesus (Lowe, 1839); yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788); and albacore, Thunnus alalunga (Bonnaterre, 1788), are very important species for world fisheries.

Tunas off northwest Africa: The epipelagic diet of The Bigeye and Skipjack tunas [PDF]
Abstract Tunas are among the most exploited top predators worldwide, with negative impacts on some of their stocks. Changes in their population abundance can impact marine food-webs and have the potential to alter entire ecosystems. To better understand the impacts of the exploitation of tuna stocks in the most critical habitats, basic knowledge on ...
