Weight–length relationships and Fulton’s condition factors of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the western and central Pacific Ocean

This paper describes the weight-length relationships (WLRs) and Fulton's condition factors (K) of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in purse seine fisheries from three cruises in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO): August-September 2009 (AS09), November-December 2012 (ND12), and June-July 2013 (JJ13). The fork length and weight of a total of 1678 specimens were measured. The results ...

Detection of pelagic habitat hotspots for skipjack tuna in the Gulf of Bone-Flores Sea, southwestern Coral Triangle tuna, Indonesia

Using remote sensing of sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) together with catch data, we investigated the detection and persistence of important pelagic habitat hotspots for skipjack tuna in the Gulf of Bone-Flores Sea, Indonesia. We analyzed the data for the period between the northwest and southeast monsoon 2007-2011. A pelagic hotspot in...

Gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from the skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis)

Skipjack ~ U M (Karsuwonus pelamis) hepatocytes were isolated and determined to be viable based on ttypan blue exclusion, energy charge, and lactate dehydrogenase leakage. Trypan blue staining and red blood cell contamination were always less than 0.1 % , and lactate dehydrogenase leakage remained less than 1 % at 25°C for 10 h. The energy charge for freshly isolated cells ranged from 0.65 to 0...
