Excerpt from Distribution, Relative Abundance, and Movement of Skipjack Tuna, Katsuwonus Pelamis, in the Pacific Ocean Based on Japanese Tuna Longline Catches, 1964-67
Certain characteristics of the longline gear affect the catch and catch data. And these should be cited so that conclusions drawn from the data are viewed in the proper perspective. First, the catches of skipjack tuna by this gear are extremely small. In the years 1962-66, for example, the catch of skipjack tuna in the Japanese commercial tuna longline fishery averaged metric tons per year, as compared with an average of metric tons caught by the pole-and-line fishery. The smallness of the catch reflects the inefficiency of the gear for taking this species, but, because of the wide areal coverage by this gear, these data should be useful for determining areas of high or low relative abundance.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the distribution, abundance, and movement of skipjack tuna in the Pacific Ocean. Through data collected between 1964-1967 from Japanese tuna longline catches, the author analyzes the relative abundance of skipjack tuna across the vast expanse of the ocean, providing insights into their behavior and migration patterns. The author discovered that skipjack tuna tend to concentrate around the east-central equatorial Pacific, and that their movements follow the circulation patterns of the major ocean currents: counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, except for the counterclockwise flow in the Eastern Pacific. Surrounding these patterns are smaller, localized movements specific to each population group. The book contributes to our understanding of skipjack tuna population dynamics, which has implications for the sustainability and management of this crucial species within the global ecosystem. By tracing their migratory routes, the author sheds light on the potential connectivity between different populations and their resilience to environmental changes.
