Genetic diversity and historical demography of Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) [PDF]
Bigeye (Thunnus obesus) is a large, pelagic, and migratory species of tuna that inhabits tropical and temperate marine waters worldwide. Previous studies based on mitochondrial RFLP data have shown that bigeye tunas from the Atlantic Ocean are the most interesting from a genetic point of view.

Evidence for a fisher-designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries. [PDF]
Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.

Cameras or Divers? How Baited Remote Underwater Videos and 'Long Swims' Underwater Visual Census Complement Each Other on Coral Reefs. [PDF]
This study compares baited remote underwater videos (BRUV) and a rapid timed long swim (LS) UVC method to evaluate their ability in assessing relative abundance and diversity of large predatory reef fish from nine selected families. BRUVs were more effective in detecting mobile and bait‐attracted taxa such as Carangidae and recorded up to 28 unique ...

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.

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.
