The new agreement to increase protection targets to 30% by 2030 and the recent United …

Drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs) are human‐made floating objects widely used by
tropical tuna purse seine (PS) fisheries to increase catch of target species. However, dFAD …

The rapid expansion of the global footprint of marine capture fisheries over recent decades,
combined with the transition to synthetic and more durable materials used for fishing gear …

Natural floating objects (FOBs) have always been a major component of the habitat of
pelagic species. Since the 1990s, the number of FOBs in the open ocean has increased …

Managing populations of wild harvested species requires the ability to regularly provide
accurate abundance assessments. For most marine species, changes in abundance can …

For centuries fishers have exploited the propensity for tuna to associate with floating objects,
yet the reasons and mechanisms behind this behavior remain unclear. The number of man …

Natural floating objects (NLOGs) are a major component of the habitat of pelagic species.
Since the 1990s, the number of floating objects in the open ocean has increased greatly as …

Catch and distribution of tuna in the ocean are typically investigated with ocean basin-scale
models. Due to their large scale, such models must greatly simplify tuna behaviour occurring …

The Maldives tuna fishery landings in 2018 were 148, 000 t and accounted for nearly a
