Pilot research on species composition of Korean purse seine catch at cannery

A preliminary study on species composition of a Korean purse seine catch landed at cannery was conducted in April 2011. In the cannery, all tuna catch are sliding through a sorting grid panel that filters and drops fish in the buckets by size class (above 9 kg, 3.4-9 kg, 1.8-3.4 kg, 1.4-1.8 kg and below 1.4 kg). In cannery processing, species sorting was made for skipjack and yellowfin tuna onl...

Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF VMS DATA FROM THE EQUATORIAL PURSE-SEINE FLEET – THE POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF VMS DATA IN THE ANALYSIS OF PURSE-SEINE CATCH AND EFFORT DATA

Executive Summary The analysis of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data from the equatorial purse-seine fleet has the potential to increase the understanding of the operation of the fishery and lead to the quantification of the effective fishing effort expended by the fleet. In turn, this may enable the development of metrics that provide indicators of the performance of the fishery and, potentia...

Summary Information on Whale Shark and Cetacean Interactions in the Tropical Wcpfc Purse Seine Fishery

An Indicator-based Analysis of Key Shark Species based on Data Held by SPC-OFP

Longline and purse seine logsheet and observer datasets held by SPC-OFP were examined to assess the stock status of eight WCPFC key shark species. Both longline and purse seine logsheet datasets suffer from missing shark catch records and a lack of species-specific recording, therefore the indicator analysis was based on observer data only. Shark data from the observer data sets are, however, a...
