Managing Bigeye Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) is responsible for managing highly migratory species in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO), and has been interested in managing bigeye tuna as stock assessments prior to 2017 ...

Deep-Sea Debris in the Central and Western Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Marine debris is a growing problem in the world’s deep ocean. The naturally slow biological and chemical processes operating at depth, coupled with the types of materials that are used commercially, suggest that debris is likely to persist in the deep ...

Predicting Skipjack Tuna Fishing Grounds in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean Based on High-Spatial-Temporal-Resolution Satellite Data

Remote Sensing, 2021
Skipjack tuna are the most abundant commercial species in Taiwan’s pelagic purse seine fisheries. However, the rapidly changing marine environment increases the challenge of locating target fish in the vast ocean.

Environmental versus operational drivers of drifting FAD beaching in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractIn an effort to increase purse seine fishing efficiency for tropical tunas, over 30,000 drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs) are deployed every year by fishers in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). The use of dFADs also impacts ecosystems, in particular through marine pollution and dFAD beaching.

Evaluation of DNA barcoding reference databases for marine species in the western and central Pacific Ocean. [PDF]

PeerJ
DNA barcoding is a widely used tool for species identification, with its reliability heavily dependent on reference databases. While the quality of these databases has long been debated, a critical knowledge gap remains in their comprehensive evaluation and comparison at regional scales. Marine metazoan species in the western and central Pacific Ocean (

Addressing Issues and Challenges in Managing Migratory Tuna Resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

International Journal of the Commons, 2021
Tuna resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean are the world’s largest and most valuable fisheries of their type and are vital to the economy and the sustainable development of the region. However, the region witnesses a rapid decline in tuna resources and the depletion of species such as bigeye and yellowfin tunas, and overharvesting of the ...

Characterizing the Sound-Scattering Layer and Its Environmental Drivers in the North Equatorial Current of the Central and Western Pacific Ocean

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Acoustic technology is an essential tool for detecting marine biological resources and has been widely used in sound-scattering layer (SSL) research. The North Equatorial Current (NEC) warm pool region of the Central and Western Pacific Ocean has a vast ...

Decadal variability of the interannual climate predictability associated with the Indo-Pacific oceanic channel dynamics in CCSM4

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
The lag correlations between the observed sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean in fall and those in the Pacific cold tongue at the one-year time lag are calculated in running windows of 7–11 years and are ...

The covariability of sea surface temperature and MAM rainfall on East Africa using singular value decomposition analysis [PDF]

Geographica Pannonica, 2020
The study assesses the covariability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and March to May (MAM) rainfall variability on East Africa (EA) from 1981 to 2018. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) analysis reveals the significant influence of SST anomalies on MAM

Connection between the Tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean and Temperature Anomaly across West Antarctic

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
West Antarctic and the Antarctic Peninsula have experienced dramatic warming in austral spring since the 1970s. Using observations and the Community Atmosphere Model version 4 (CAM4), this study explores the physical mechanism by which the tropical ...
