Tropical tuna purse-seine fishing vessels contribute to abandoned, lost or discarded (ALD)
fishing equipment by deploying large numbers of drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs) …

Debris from fisheries pose significant threats to coastal marine ecosystems worldwide.
Tropical tuna purse seine fisheries contribute to this problem via the construction and …

The use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) in tropical tuna fisheries has increased
significantly during recent decades. Concurrently, concern about juvenile tuna mortality …

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 …

Sustainable fisheries management requires accurate stock assessment and an
understanding of how targeted populations vary over space and time and respond to …

Purse-seine fisheries use drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs), human-made floating
objects, to facilitate the capture of tropical tunas. Currently, the majority of dFADs are …

Human-induced habitat modifications can severely impact the biology and behavior of wild
species. Drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs), used by industrial purse-seine tropical …

The seasonal and inter-annual variability in abundance of the main “local tropical tuna
resources” in the EEZ of Côte d'Ivoire was analysed with catch and effort data from French …

In the tropical tuna purse seine fishery, the fishing efficiency and dynamics of the fleet are
evolving rapidly due to the fast-technological development and the increasing use of FADs …

this paper presents an associative behavior-based abundance index (abbi) providing direct
estimates of the abundance of yellowfin tuna (thunnus albacares) based on their associative …
