Northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) were caught by purse seine boats and brought to a farm for a rearing cycle of 1.5 years. Mortalities occurred in the first weeks of acclimatization at the facility. Parasitological examination revealed plerocercoids of the cestode Hepatoxylon trichiuri embedded in the stomach mucosa. The larvae were found in 28.4% of the fish and the mean abundance was 3....

Abstract Purse-seine fisheries use drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs), human-made floating objects, to facilitate the capture of tropical tunas. Currently, majority dFADs are constructed primarily highly durable non-biodegradable materials and there is no legal obligation recover after deployment, leading beaching events potentially negative environmental impacts. We assessed beachings a...

Purse seiners generally try to maximize their revenues by targeting multiple species, starting with the most valuable ones available. The technology and capacity of purse can be exceptionally high for stocks found in Marmara Sea, Turkey’s only inland sea, due its small size nearly totally enclosed nature. Due large capabilities, they are responsible majority catches hence declines from this sea...

Mini purse seine boats in Rembang are divided into two sizes. The first one, namely mini seines measuring 10 - 20 Goss Tonnage (GT) (short trips) with a fishing operation duration of 3 7 days. second one is 21 30 GT (long dominant catch on this round scad, which used cooling mechanism ice blocks and bulking systems. This research evaluates the quality scad caught by (based Indonesian National S...
