Presentation Transcript

  1. Tropical Tunas Working Group Recife, April 2007

  2. Main topics studied • Update of basic statistics, CAS and tagging database • Estimation of landings that are directed out of the canning factories (“faux-poisson”) • Review of new biological information and fishery indicators for YFT, BET and SKJ • Indicators relevant to multi-species fisheries and ecosystems • Recommendations

  3. Statistics • Task 1 and 2: revisions following the work done in Sète (2006) • Sizes: update and building of the CAS for YFT and SKJ • Tagging: progress on improving the tropical tunas databases; still work to be done for YFT and SKJ by Secretariat and scientists • Preparation of BET assessment: revision of the “fisheries” definition and data preparation for Multifan-CL analysis

  4. « Faux-poisson »1- Total amount landed in Abidjan

  5. « Faux poisson »2- Quantities according to the fleet

  6. « Faux poisson »3- Species composition 1997-1998 sampling 2004-2005 sampling

  7. « Faux poisson »4- Size composition Major Tunas Minor Tunas

  8. « Faux poisson »5- Conclusion • These landings are quite important and should be taken in account for assessments • Ways to avoid risks of double counting of catches (transshipments, observers) have to be axamined • Studies to better estimate the species composition by fleet should be continued • The way to take them in account in the statistics has still to be defined (discards, new category?)
